Wherefore comfort one another with these words. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the AIR, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4 16-18

Authorities confirmed at least six people were injured Wednesday after a shooting broke out during a teenager’s funeral in Ferguson, Missouri.

The Ferguson Police Department responded to a 911 call just before noon Wednesday reporting shots fired at the Cotten-Branch funeral home.

Officers arrived in under two minutes, describing the scene as “complete chaos,” Ferguson Police Chief Troy Doyle said during a news conference.

Three people suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening, and three others were injured in the chaos that ensued after gunfire rang out.

Doyle said shots were fired outside the building and potentially inside the funeral home as well.

Hundreds of people were attending the funeral, which was being held for an 18-year-old.

Multiple people of interest were apprehended by police, and multiple guns were recovered, according to Doyle.

“Anytime you have a shooting, it’s a tragedy in our community,” Doyle said. “It’s kind of unfortunate, because you have loved ones that come to a funeral to grieve a member of their family, and unfortunately, [were] subjected to this type of chaos.”

It is unclear how many shooters opened fire, and what led to the shooting.
