    VPD investigators are looking for witnesses to an incident at the Standard Holiness Church at 3101 E. 22nd Avenue on Thursday, April 5. Just before 7 p.m., parishioners were gathered inside the church for weekly prayers when a noise was heard near the front door.

     

    When the congregation tried to open the door, they realized that it had been secured from the outside. They were able to leave through side exit doors.
