Well as Paul has said it was a very rainy day.  Just to backtrack we'd been married for 10 years and we started fellow shipping at St. James and during that time we both made commitments as Christians.  And it was one of those evenings that we went to church the normal time, started the worship service and a couple were singing
More than wonderful
And was just at the end of that song that the doors opened and I thought it was of the wind.  And I saw this man standing there and I realised that he had a gun in his hand and he started moving from left to right.   I must have still been looking  at him without realising it.
In that time my husband went down on his own haunches and I realised I had better get down too.  And on going down I thought I've got to do something so I prayed that the Lord would help us.  And there was a lot of screaming and initially but even in that there was a kind of peace that I can't even now explain really.
And there was different sounds I could hear and then eventually I heard a familiar voice of our Reverend  Ross Anderson just telling us to stay calm and stay down.  And this voice just kept going and I think that was incredible calming -  had a calming effect on everybody.   And after a few minutes we got up and - well I called to my husband and he didn't answer.
And I got up and he was still on his haunches and I think I was a bit bewildered at that stage, everybody was milling around and with that an usher came down in front of me towards my husband.   And he bent down and obviously to him to feel his pulse and I just said to him is he alive and he shook his head.
