A man from Temple City, Texas has been charged last Friday for shooting fire at the First United Methodist Church of Temple. Destiny Gregg Suydam, 35, is now held at the Bell County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He was charged with felony terroristic threat.

Last Wednesday night, Suydam entered the First United Methodist Church of Temple at 102 North 2nd St. and threatened to start shooting. Fortunately, no one was injured after the swift response of police officers in the area.

After police assisted civilians to vacate the church, they set up a perimeter and negotiated with Suydam through phone. This lasted for about two hours and only then were officials able to subdue Suydam with a "less than lethal projectile."

"This was the start of a long night where I witnessed firsthand the professionalism and authentic care of the Temple Police Department for the people they serve and protect," the church's pastor, Tom Robbins, said in a Facebook post Thursday, as quoted by KWTX.

"I watched as the officers, many of whom I know, put on body armor and walked into a giant building in the middle of a night in order to find someone who was believed to be a heavily armed threat," the pastor continued.

According to Transformation Station, a residential Bible and life-training home for men in Temple, Suydam was evicted from his home on Aug. 19. He had been living there and doing well for around a year already but was kicked out because he showed up to the residence drunk, which is a clear violation of their rules.

Suydam has had a problem with alcoholic abuse and violence as revealed by the records of Texas Department of Public Safety. In 2014, he was sentenced to four years for driving while intoxicated but was later pardoned and released in 2015.
