Police arrested 22-year-old Debari Charvel Augustine of San Francisco for allegedly shooting toward St. Augustine Catholic Church in South San Francisco, California, Tuesday afternoon when there were people in the church.
No one was injured in the attack, but police charged Augustine with several felony counts, which included attempted murder, shooting into a dwelling, and possession of an assault weapon. The parish notified parishioners through its Facebook page that the gunshots did make contact with the building but did not hit any of the people inside.
“Our church’s main doors that were closed at the time of the incident were majorly vandalized with several gunshots,” the post read. “The offender didn’t gain entry to the church and no one was hurt.”
The suspect initially fled the scene, but South San Francisco police worked with police in San Mateo and San Francisco counties to identify and arrest Augustine later that evening. He was arrested in San Francisco and transported to the San Mateo County Jail for booking.
