A Mississippi church is mourning the loss of a deacon who died protecting others when a man began shooting at the congregation’s Easter egg hunt last weekend.

Deacon Eddie Shed of The Empowerment Ministries Christian Center was killed on Saturday during a shooting that took place at a church-sponsored Easter egg hunt at the Goldin Sports Complex in Gulfport.

“We are heartbroken by the loss of Deacon Eddie Shed, a true hero taken from us too soon,” stated the church on Sunday. “His courage and commitment to our community will never be forgotten.”
