The NYPD has released a video and images of three men wanted for the armed robbery of a bishop as he held a church service in Brooklyn.
Bishop Lamor Whitehead, 44, was live-streaming his sermon when three masked gunmen entered the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry service. He got down on the floor on his hands and knees before the robbers went through and grabbed the jewelry.
"When I see them come into the sanctuary with their guns, I told everybody to get out, everybody just get out," Whitehead said. He said he was glad no one was hurt but added that one gunman pointed a gun in his 8-month-old daughter's face.
