Matthew Murray was a 24 year old quiet young man from Colorado. In December 2007, over the course of 12 hours, he shot and killed 4 innocent people, injuring 5 more, and traumatizing countless victims. Matthew had vowed to “kill as many Christians as he could.” This senseless act of violence is disturbing and scary. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the spree killer Matthew Murray and the Youth With A Mission and New Life Church shootings.
