But the important thing was he used a Bible

Reports Brietbart:

A pastor shot and killed during his Sunday sermon deflected the first of the gunman's four rounds with a Bible, sending a confetti-like spray of paper into the air in a horrifying scene that congregants initially thought was a skit, police said.

Clearly "Police: Ill. pastor deflected gunshots with a Bible" was the take-away headline for this incident. Matt Drudge agreed.
