Just when we thought that mass shooting plague only occurs in the western world, this deadly havoc   can also happen in different parts of the world and the church is not a safe haven.

Unknown gunmen opened fire on Catholic worshippers on Sunday, June 5, and many were left dead and others fatally wounded at a church in Owo, Ondo State.

Although, details of the unfortunate incident are still sketchy, it was gathered that the mass shooting occurred during a service at st. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo.

The clips making the rounds on social media shows the gory state of corpses around the church building in the aftermath of the shooting.

Below’s how netizens reacted to the sad event;

People left their home hale and hearty to church just to be killed by herdsmen inside church at Owo, Ondo State. Shame on all our political leaders.

I quickly closed that gory video of the mass murder inside a Catholic Church in Ondo State. This is so cruel  no human being deserves to be murdered for serving their God. The animals that did this must be brought to book immediately!
