St. Patrick Catholic Church in Wentzville, Missouri was holding a fundraiser for a cancer patient Saturday night. As the evening was ending and decorations were being taken down people were popping balloons. According to the local police chief, "During the popping of the balloons there was a pop that was unrecognizable and there was a victim of a gunshot."
23-year-old Aaron Dwan had been shot and fell to the floor. Due to all the activity in the room few people realized what had happened.
Dwan was taken to the hospital where he is in serious but stable condition.
The next day a "person of interest" went to police. After interviewing him, police determined the shooting was unintentional. Police have not identified the person nor have they said how the shooting happened.

And why have a gun at church? Was the patron afraid of being attacked while raising funds for cancer patients? Worried about rabid satanists attacking? Afraid of balloons?
Interesting. Missouri CCW law states that in accordance with Section 571.107 RSMo., you may not carry a concealed
weapon in the following places:
...any church or place of worship; without permission of Minister or person representing religious
organization.
