This is a logic fail. I doubt they were praying to protect them from a shooting.
You and "logic" are obviously strangers.
They did not know they were about to be shot. But God knew.
They were literally talking to Him. Was He busy at the time?
Or maybe He decided some were faking it.
Actually the possibilities are infinite in a multiverse.
Regardless we are in This one. And we all get to learn or rather fight over the tragic details of this story in this Universe.
Just another American FAFO. We have met the enemy and it is us.
Personally I am not enjoying it ya'll.
As if God or Men care what I THINK about it.
"Then Gawd should use YOUR money to do it."
Not only is He vengeful and wraithful and impulsive He can't seem to handle His money very well. He always needs more. I think He may have a drug problem.
