Boy Killed in Church From Stray Bullet on New Years

A 4-year-old boy who was struck by a stray bullet while at church died Friday.

The incident happened around midnight Friday during a New Year’s Eve watch service at the Covington Drive Church Of God of Prophecy in Decatur.

It was not immediately clear who fired the shot that came through the roof of the church and struck the child, who was identified as Marquel Peters.

"It’s hard. He was my only child. He was only 4. He was a smart little boy, he was so sweet," said his mother, Nathalee Peters.

She said Friday night that she still can’t believe it happened.

    “ay GOD be with you and keep you this is a very troubling time for you and all I can say is GOD have Mercy on you and your Family I will also pray that whoever did this grusome act of evil soon be brought to justice.”

    I laughed. This is probably “god”‘s way of telling everyone that they’re pretty stupid for going to church.

    That or he has an awesome sense of humor.
