A Texas man armed with a loaded gun and more than 100 rounds of ammunition was tackled by a security guard inside a Houston church<\/a> before he could open fire, police said.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Ahsono Mbwavi, 23, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, court records show.<\/p>\n

Houston police said that on March 15, Mbwavi arrived at Eden Church, which holds services at Post Entertainment Center in downtown Houston on Sunday mornings.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, a member of the church\u2019s security team<\/a> recognized Mbwavi, who had been asked to leave the property roughly two months earlier after he tried handing out “concerning” flyers.<\/p>\n

Based on that history, the church’s pastor asked the security team to monitor Mbwavi.<\/p>\n

The security guard told police he saw Mbwavi wearing a backpack and following a pastor into the bathroom, then walking in and out multiple times before disappearing into the crowd.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, another pastor confronted Mbwavi, and while the two were speaking, the security guard noticed Mbwavi holding the grip of a pistol in his pocket.<\/p>\n

The guard told police he saw Mbwavi reach for the gun and tackled him, believing he was about to harm members of the security team and congregation.<\/p>\n

Mbwavi had his cellphone in his hand and was allegedly counting down, leading the guard to believe a bomb could be detonated.<\/p>\n

The security team and members of the church assisted the guard in restraining Mbwavi.<\/p>\n

While on the ground, Mbwavi allegedly shouted, “I\u2019m going to kill [the pastor], who is a fake prophet. I am a prophet called Warlock.”<\/p>\n

Mbwavi’s cellphone was allegedly open to a notes application containing information<\/a> about killing the church’s pastor.<\/p>\n

Mbwavi was carrying a .22-caliber revolver loaded with six live rounds<\/a>, along with more than 100 additional rounds in his backpack, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
