Greg Locke, pastor of Global Vision Bible Church in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, was the victim of a drive-by shooting Tuesday night (Sept. 3). While his home was riddled with bullets, no one was injured.
According to a social media post that Locke shared during the early hours of Wednesday morning, the shooting took place moments before he and his family pulled into the driveway.
More than 50 rounds were fired.
One of Locke’s children was in the home at the time of the shooting, but Locke informed followers that the child was in an area of the home where bullets did not penetrate.
Locke shared pictures of the aftermath. One photo showed a bullet hole in the headboard of his youngest daughter’s bed.
“It’s 2:00am and for the last 3 hours our home has been a full blown crime scene,” Locke said. “According to the security cam footage, we pulled into our driveway exactly ONE MINUTE after a madman unloaded an entire magazine of bullets from an automatic weapon into our house, garage and my truck.”
Locke described the sound on the security video as “truly horrific” and said that detectives were at the scene gathering evidence for “a good while.”
Locke said that he and his family “are all being security escorted to a hotel tonight.”
“We have no further details,” Locke said. “The only detail that matters is that Psalm 91 is true and GOD PROTECTED US IN UNIMAGINABLE AND SUPERNATURAL WAYS. Please pray for the Locke family tonight. We love all of you.”
