Carl Chinn is a great resource for reviewing statistical data for church related crimes over 2009 and past years. This is the best website that I have seen that gives you the big picture from year to year,

| Some have asked for pure data on the number of victims killed by attack at a church or ministry. Many of the attacks in the above statistics include persons actually killed away from the attack on the church, but as a result of the attack.Example: While Freddie Cranshaw's violent attack on 8/28/2005 was due to his anger at the Church, and his first 2 victims were the pastor and another church member in the parking lot, his rage resulted in him killing 2 women down the street who had nothing to do with the church. So for the purity of this statistic, those 2 ladies (and other victims like them) are not included in the following. Suspicious deaths (such as John Walker on 12/22/08 and Patricia Wilkins-Wells on 1/28/07) are also removed from the following data. Suicides and aggressor deaths are also not included. | ||
