Oh, the irony

7:15 p.m. Saturday – Police said the pastor of a southwest Atlanta church shot and wounded a 13-year-old in retaliation for throwing a rock at his car. Alex Williams, of the Mechanicsville Church of God in Christ, pulled out a .38 revolver and shot the teen in the hip after the boy threw a rock through the back window of William’s car, police said.

Neighbors and members of the congregation say the church and Williams’ house have been vandalized and set afire. The pastor faces aggravated assault charges. The teenager was in stable condition Monday.
