MADISONVILLE (November 28, 2009)—One suspect was in custody and authorities were looking for two others after three armed men burst into the House of Hope Church Wednesday night in Madisonville and robbed worshippers.
The three robbers entered the church at around 9:30 p.m., armed with two handguns and a shotgun, police said.
They escaped with wallets and several purses, police said.
One suspect was later arrested and authorities were in the process of obtaining warrants for the other two.
Investigators are asking anyone with information on this robbery to contact the Madison County Sheriff's Office at (936) 348-3317.

Why is there no description of the culprits listed in this story? Whom are you afraid of offending?

All it would have taken is a couple of guys carrying their legally possessed concealed firearms to follow those guys out the door and all three of them would be in custody...of the coroner. It's time for the citizens to start taking this country back from the criminals.
