That\u2019s when deputies say Lewter attempted to grab his handgun. Deputies say congregants tackled and restrained him.<\/p>\n<p>A retired Limestone County Sheriff\u2019s deputy who was present assisted, Young said, and handcuffed Lewter while they waited for deputies to arrive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I suppose shooting your soon-to-be-ex-wife won&#8217;t convince her to stop divorce proceedings, neither will failing to shoot her because of your neighbors piled on top of you.
