The Conroe Church is damaged by several bullets
Police are investigating shootings at a property near a church in Conroe as his pastor denounces gunshot damage to the shrine.
Separate shootings at a property adjacent to the HopeWell Community Church at 617 F Avenue took place Friday and Saturday, as investigated by Conroe Police, according to the department.
Nearly two dozen bullet holes were found in the place of worship, according to ABC 13.
“It’s heartbreaking. It is the house of God ”, Taylor told the media.
Conroe PD has been alerted by media to the bullet holes in the back of the church, the department revealed. The shootings, however, were linked to the neighboring property and its occupants, the department added.
“The evidence indicates that the target of the shots fired was the neighboring property and not the church. These incidents are the subject of an investigation and no other information is available for the moment ”, indicates a press release from the department. “Based on the statements and evidence obtained during the investigation, the police department is satisfied that the Hopewell Community Church was not the target of the shootings.”
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call Conroe PD at 936-522-3200.
The previous structure of the church was devastated by a tornado in 2016, according to a 2019 Courier article. A pecan tree fell on the 80-member church, a 2021 article from the Detailed Courier.
