FORT WORTH — Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth will forever be known for a night in 1999 when a gunman interrupted a prayer rally.
Seven people were killed and seven others wounded by a man shouting anti-church rhetoric who then took his own life.
So church officials are happy to host a large seminar this week on preventing violent attacks on worshipers.
"For me, I see a lot of value in this," said Wedgwood employee Jeff Laster, who was taking photos of the conference.
Laster was the first one shot in the 1999 incident. He sees value in about 500 peace officers and church workers sharing security plans and philosophies.
