OAKLAND, Calif.- Horrified parishioners watched a man pull out a gun and open fire on a churchgoer as she tried to run away, fatally wounding her just before services began Sunday morning, police said.

Tanya McCall, 40, of Vallejo was shot three times after arguing with the man in the parking lot of Acts Full Gospel Church in East Oakland, witnesses told police. Paramedics responding from the fire station next door pronounced her dead at the scene.

McCall, a Prudential real estate agent who regularly attended the church, "apparently knew" the suspect, said Oakland police Sgt. Tony Jones.

Police were looking for McCall's estranged husband, Matthew McCall III, as a "person of interest" in the case. Police told the Oakland Tribune the husband had threatened McCall in the past, and that she had obtained a restraining order against him.

Acts Full Bishop Bob Jackson said he and his parishioners are in shock, and angry. Jackson said gun violence in Oakland is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

"The church is supposed to be a safe haven for people to come to and now, as you can see, there are no safe havens," said Jackson.

Again , restraining orders are really feel good measures (if it WAS her husband) . And Mr Jackson needs to understand that those who want to perpetrate evil acts don't care where they are when they do it .
