Suicide bombers attack Pakistan church, killing 8 people, officials say

Eight people were killed and dozens of others were wounded on Sunday when two suicide bombers attacked a church in Pakistan where hundreds of worshippers were attending service ahead of Christmas, officials said.

One of the suicide bombers was shot dead outside Bethel Memorial Methodist Church in Quetta, but the other assailant made it to the church's entrance hall as Sunday services opened, said Sarfaraz Bugti, home minister for the southwestern Baluchistan province. The gunman — who didn’t gain access to the main building — opened fire at the churchgoers before detonating his explosive vest.

Sounds like they stopped one of the bombers, shot and killed before he could detonate his belt.

This stuff always seems to happen at Christmas. Prayers for these poor parishioners.
