A gunman opened fire inside a Baptist church in Norwood, Missouri on Sunday afternoon.

More than 50 people were inside when the man began shooting, according to witnesses cited by local broadcaster KSPR-TV.

After the man got one shot off, though, several churchgoers tackled him. Before they totally subdued him another shot went off.

Police arrived shortly after and are saying the man could have mental health issues.
