Witness: Montco church incident turned deadly fast

Gordon Hower was attending a Sunday church service with his wife when he saw a fellow congregant - displaying a handgun on his belt holster - reach for his weapon while speaking with another worshipper.

He turned to his wife and told her, "Get everybody out of here," he testified Thursday.

Hower said Mark Storms was showing his gun to Robert Braxton III, who appeared agitated at the service last month at the Keystone Fellowship Church in Montgomery Township, Montgomery County. Storms asked Braxton to step outside.

Braxton refused, Hower said. Upon seeing the gun, Braxton punched Storms.

allow for a person to pick a fight and when they are losing, shoot the one they started a fight with then shout fear for my life.
