- A man accused of setting fire to three predominantly black churches in a southern Louisiana parish was charged with hate crimes on Monday, The Associated Press reported, adding to the three charges of arson that were filed last week. The man, Holden Matthews, the 21-year-old son of a deputy sheriff, was arrested on Wednesday, accused of setting fire to the churches within 10 days in St. Landry Parish, north of Lafayette. He pleaded not guilty on Monday and was not granted bond.[1]

- Gun-related tragedy struck once again this week, this time at a Catholic Supply store in Ballwin, Missouri, a suburb of St. Lous. USA Today reports that a former pastor has been arrested after allegedly attempting to coerce three women into having sex with him at gunpoint. When one of them resisted, he shot 53-year-old Jamie Schmidt in the head and forced the other two to submit to his “deviant” demands. The shooter, 53-year-old Thomas Bruce, has a reputation for right-wing tirades on social media and has ranted against gun-free zones in the past. He was a huge fan of President Trump, attended his rallies, and regularly tweeted about Republican politics. His last tweet read “I’ve already forgotten you. #promisesmade #promiseskept #trump2020 #BuildTheWall” and his feed was full of retweets from white nationalist FOX anchor Laura Ingraham.[6][7]
