Meanwhile, Charles Richard Jennings Jr., 35, stole a truck from a nearby neighbor at gunpoint and led police on a highway chase, police said. “I’m OK, I’m OK,” Evans kept saying, as blood spilled from his mouth. His wife, Tara, who had been standing next to him, and others prayed. They used scarves and a shirt to help soak up the blood, and she cradled his head. Ory Hernandez and other parishioners went to James Evans. The shooter ran from the church, the pastor and a half dozen other men close on his heels. “I was waiting for another gunman,” she said. She heard the pastor blurt out an expletive into his microphone. She grabbed her son, threw him under the pew and got on top of him. “It was echoing in my head so loud,” said Rebecca Ory Hernandez, who was only a few feet away from the Evans with her 5-year-old son. The loud bang pierced the silence, sending people diving for cover beneath pews and the priest behind the altar. Seconds later, police say Jennings fired a single shot at the back of Cheryl’s father’s head, nearly killing him. A parishioner, known by many at the church as Ricky Jennings, entered through the glass doors in back, holding his wife Cheryl’s hand. OGDEN, Utah - It was a quiet part of the Father’s Day Mass as about 300 people stood up in preparation for communion. Evans family spokesperson, Father Eric Richtsteig, talks Monday in Ogden, Utah, about the events that happened during Mass on Sunday morning when James Evans was shot in the head in front of a congregation of 300 people.
