Samurai Attack on Church Drummer

There have been a few church drummers that I've wanted to go after too:

Authorities continued searching Wednesday for an arsonist with a samurai sword who sliced a man's arm and set fire to a pair of bungalows on the grounds of a church in Lake View Terrace.

Los Angeles police and firefighters went to All Nations Church at 10000 Foothill Blvd. at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday after a man dressed in army fatigue went inside and brought his samurai down on a man playing the drums, said Officer Karen Smith of the Los Angeles Police Department's media relations unit.

The sword sliced the man's arm when he tried to block the blow, Smith said, adding he was transported to a hospital, treated and released.

The suspect then fled the building and police chased him for a short time before he ran into a storm pipe and got away, she said.

City fire spokesman Ron Myers said the suspect also apparently set fire to two one-story bungalows on the church's property. Firefighters had the flames under control within 30 minutes, he said.

Contemporary Christian music is hard on us all.
