It’s always a good guy with a gun.
Claude Lee Haynes III is accused of leaving a loaded Equinox .380 pistol in a stall after Sunday services at Lifewalk Church in Holly Ridge, reported the Jacksonville Daily News.
The 70-year-old Haynes apparently had been asked by the church to carry a weapon to prevent against possible attacks, investigators said.
“It’s kind of a prevalent thing going on,” said John Maiorano, chief of Holly Ridge police.
The 4-year-old boy’s father went into the bathroom stall and took the gun away from his son before he could fire the weapon, police said.
