DANIEL WHYTE III SAYS DEACON EDDIE SHED DIED AS A “HERO” UNFORTUNATELY OVER FAMILY, SIN, EVIL, AND FOOLISHNESS OF OTHERS AT THE EMPOWERMENT MINISTRIES CHRISTIAN CENTER IN GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI. WHYTE SAYS AGAIN THAT THE CHURCH SHOULD GET OUT OF THE “DIVORCE CARE FAKE MINISTRY” BUSINESS AND SHOULD STAY CLEAR OF CHILD CUSTODY CASES BECAUSE IF A FATHER FEELS HIS CHILDREN ARE BEING MESSED OVER AND TAKEN FROM HIM, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY IN AMERICA, AND THE CHURCH IS AT FAULT BECAUSE SHE IS FOOLISHLY GETTING INVOLVED IN SO-CALLED “DIVORCE CARE” INSTEAD OF “MARRIAGE CARE.”

A “hero” deacon was shot dead protecting members of his congregation from gunfire at an Easter egg hunt in Mississippi this weekend.

Eddie Shed, with the Empowerment Ministries Christian Center in Gulfport, was killed when 24-year-old Tyran Deion Gable allegedly opened fire following a “child custody dispute” on Saturday afternoon, the Gulfport Police Department confirmed to People.

Shed, a 39-year-old father, died protecting two people who had attempted to de-escalate the custody dispute.

“He died a hero doing what he does best, and that’s protecting and that’s loving and that’s looking out for everyone,” church member Alexis Weathersby told WLOX.

“He was just a wonderful man who was willing to do any and everything for anyone.”

Shed was declared dead at the scene and another victim, who has not been identified, was airlifted to an out-of-state hospital.

Gable, who was also shot, was taken to a local hospital where he was arrested and charged with murder.

Pastor Gregg Magee of the EMCC said after the shooting that Shed “epitomized the virtues of a hero” after “displaying selfless courage and bravery that ultimately saved others from harm.”

“He paid the ultimate price for his valor, and we are deeply saddened by this loss,” the pastor wrote.

“Deacon Shed was a pillar of strength within our community and a beacon of light and hope. His unwavering faith, kindness and dedication to serving others have left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
