A man with no apparent ties to a church opened fire outside the building before being fatally shot by church staff, according to police. Authorities are still piecing together his motives, leaving unanswered questions about what led to the violence.

Editor’s Note: This is another unsettling example of how gun violence can erupt in unexpected places—even spaces meant for refuge. While the staff's actions may have prevented further harm, the broader issue of why these incidents keep happening lingers. It’s a reminder of how communities, even in sacred spaces, aren’t immune to the threat of gunfire.

A suicide bombing at a church near Damascus has left 22 dead and 63 wounded, with Syria’s interior minister blaming ISIS for the attack. The assault is a grim reminder of the terrorist group’s lingering threat in the region, despite its territorial defeat years ago.

Editor’s Note: Even though ISIS lost its stronghold in Syria years back, attacks like this show the group hasn’t vanished—it’s still capable of deadly violence, especially against vulnerable communities.

Editor’s Note: This story hits hard because places of worship are supposed to be sanctuaries—somewhere people feel safe.

It also raises questions about how often these incidents happen and what can be done to stop them.
