At Discovery Church in North Las Vegas, Pastor Dean Sanner, who doubles as a local police chaplain told attendees that authorities wouldn’t be able to explain the shooter’s motives. “Man is evil at its core, make no mistake about it,” Sanner declared. “God’s Word tells us that we are born into sin. Oh, can we do good things? We can, just like the shooter did… Just because somebody does good things doesn’t mean they don’t have a sin nature … It’s not until we get Christ in our heart that He begins to eradicate that and clean us up.” (Harrison Keely/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
