Lyndell Swinson was wanted for two shooting deaths when he entered the Mount Airy Church of God in Christ.

"When I heard he was there, I put aside my ministerial duties and switched roles," said Police Lt. Norman Davenport, who alerted homicide officers. A SWAT team promptly arrived and waited for the three-hour worship service to end. Swinson's arrest went so smoothly, many parishioners did not even know police had arrested a suspected killer.
