A day of worship turned into a travesty Sunday as two hooded gunmen entered a church in Richmond, California and opened fire on two teens within the service.

According to witnesses, there were three male suspects that entered the New Gethsemane Church of God In Christ Inc, walked up and down the aisles, lefts the building and returned to start the shooting.

“It's stunning and shocking,” said Church deacon Ezekiel Wallace. “It's hard to believe that people would come into God's house and do what they did…It's God's house.”

Of those that were injured in the melee, a 14-year-old boy and 19-year-old man were the victims.  Both, fortunately, are expected to recover, but are unwilling to assist authorities.

Richmond police investigators are under the belief that the attack was premeditated, but no motive has been determined as of yet.

There have been no suspects arrested as of yet.

“God will get you sooner or later,” stated one of the worshippers.
