Police say the man with a tactical rifle closed the gates to the parking lot before trying to re-enter the church while 100 people were inside. A man who talked him into dropping the weapon believes he may have wanted to shoot people inside.
A federal judge ordered a man to remain behind bars just weeks after parishioners of a Dallas church locked the door to prevent him from entering with a gun. FBI agents dug through old records and charged the man in connection with a fatal 2022 shooting.Until those charges, he was free from custody — but with police closely watching. Police records obtained by FOX 4 reveal that the gunman regularly attended the church he tried to walk into with a tactical rifle.
According to Dallas police records, the man who talked Ragsdale into dropping the weapon believes he may have wanted to shoot people at the church. Ragsdale’s girlfriend told police he was drunk and having "emotional issues."Ragsdale was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, but federal investigators discovered he was charged with a 2022 murder of his roommate in Seagoville. That murder charge was dismissed as Ragsdale claimed the shooting was self-defense.
