Funeral held for Kayla Rincon-Miller, teen killed in Cape CoralBigger bottles of wine hitting the shelves after DeSantis signs new bill
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.- A mom called 911 over the weekend when her young son came home from church with a gun. People at Gospel Baptist Church are reeling after learning the 9-year-old boy reported finding a gun in a men’s bathroom Sunday. “My first reaction was shock that anybody would lose a weapon,” said Pastor William Lytell. Pastor Lytell says a Lee County Sheriff’s deputy told him the weapon was taken home by the 9-year-old and given to his mother who immediately called authorities. “For a bad situation, this is the best thing that could happen,” said Lytell. If the gun turns out to belong to a church member, “then I will very specifically, and we as a church will very specifically, tell that individual not to ever carry a weapon at Gospel Baptist.” The pastor says he doesn’t know the name of the boy who found the gun, but he’s just relieved nobody got hurt. “Thirty-five years being here, I helped to start this church, and I never had anything like this. It’s a first,” said Lytell. The church says it’s been told that it will take a few days for deputies to enter the weapon into evidence. Then the rightful owner can come, with proper documents, to identify the gun and possibly get it back.
