In a terrifying incident that has rattled his community, pro-Trump pastor Greg Locke’s home came under fire in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Locke, the Nashville pastor and founder of Global Vision Bible Church shared alarming details about the attack, revealing that one of his children was inside at the time. The situation could have ended in tragedy, but fortunately, no one was hurt.
Locke posted gut-wrenching photos showing the aftermath of the shooting. One of the bullets, he said, tore through the headboard of his youngest daughter’s bed and lodged in her pillow. Imagine that for a second—a bullet inches from where his child could have been sleeping. It’s chilling.
According to Locke, he and his family pulled into their driveway just one minute after a gunman unloaded an entire magazine of bullets from an automatic weapon, spraying his home, garage, and even his truck. The entire event was caught on security footage, capturing the sheer chaos and fear this unprovoked attack caused. Locke described the sound on the video as “horrific.”
For hours, their home turned into a crime scene, with detectives combing through the damage, trying to piece together what happened. Locke shared that only one of his kids was home during the attack, and thankfully, they were not in the area hit hardest by the gunfire.
Locke, clearly shaken but resolute, gave credit to divine intervention, saying, “God protected us in unimaginable and supernatural ways.” While details about the shooter and the motivation behind the attack remain unclear, Locke is urging his supporters to pray for his family during this frightening time.
It’s no secret that Greg Locke is a polarizing figure. His fiery sermons and outspoken support for former President Donald Trump have made him both beloved and controversial. Whether or not this attack was politically motivated is unknown, but it certainly raises questions.
