“Please, everyone, forgive me?” Prichard police arrest woman accused of shooting dead a worshiper inside church
On Thursday, police arrested Kaillyn Christine Howard Harris.
Carter was hit by a stray bullet and died while participating in a bible study this week.
Now, her husband Cecil Carter Sr. speaking out after this tragic death.
Carter says this is the church his wife goes to quite often.
He felt that was where his wife was supposed to be safe.
“I just don’t think people should shoot in places where you don’t know what a stray bullet can do,” Carter said.
Cecil Carter is the elected pastor at Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church, something he will now be unable to share with his wife of 35 years.
“She was really looking forward to it. She was very proud, very happy and very proud of me,” Carter said. “But for now, it’s going to be very difficult for me to have her not here to make arrangements.”
Carter says the thought of having to go on without her is something he never imagined, but he’s trying to find strength again.
“Honey, I love you like always…my heart is empty right now because she’s not with me but I know she’s always with you,” Carter said. “Right now, I’m invigorated knowing that God can and knows that my wife is in a better place with the lord, and there is no doubt that she loves the lord. So I must. strong for her, and myself. , and for my family, my children and everyone.”
Carter said the family plans to hold a funeral for Grace next Saturday.
