Yesterday's shooting at a Knoxville, Tennessee church has many churches re-thinking their security.One local church is making some big changes in response to yesterday's tragedy.
Senior Pastor at St. Lukes United Methodist Church, Dr. Will Cotton, says his church already has security cameras throughout the church, but now he's considering having security guards at his services.
Dr. Cotton says, "It's hard for a church when they start thinking about having security or armed security and things like that because again, it's not the kind of atmosphere that you're wanting to set up."
He says the safety of his members is his main concern and he's taking every precaution so that his church is prepared.
