“No, I can’t either, and I can’t believe, thank the Lord that no one was injured in that,” Pressley said. “I’m thinking about the churches that I know—had that happened in churches that I know that have security teams, there could have been some sort of terrible injury.”
“You think about the heightened awareness the churches are having to have now,” said Pressley, “with all that’s happened in churches, and it’s just by God’s kindness nobody was hurt when all this happened.”

Pressley also expressed gratitude for the response from the attorney general’s office.
“I’m very thankful for the attorney general’s office. Their response has been what I hoped it would be. I hope they’ll keep pressing that. I hope that they will make arrests. I hope that they will have justice for what happened,” he said.
Pressley further described the love Parnell and the members of Cities Church show toward others and their desire to see the gospel proclaimed.
As the interview concluded, Pressley said he understands why SBC congregations nationwide might feel fearful following the incident.
“I think there’s good cause to be afraid. I think this is an alarm that says churches and security teams should be ready,” Pressley told Starnes. “We pray for peace and we prepare for whatever comes our way.”
