First Baptist Church Sutherland Springs pastor Frank Pomeroy preaches at a recent service. – YouTube<\/div>\n

By Aaron Earls<\/em><\/p>\n

Frank Pomeroy, pastor of First Baptist Church Sutherland Springs, lost his daughter and dozens of other church members in a horrific mass shooting last November.<\/p>\n

As he approached his church on Monday (March 5), two individuals began yelling at him and asserting the shooting never happened.<\/p>\n

The man and woman, who run a conspiracy website that claims mass shootings are fake, were arrested by local police, but not before insulting and harassing the grieving father.<\/p>\n

Pomeroy told My San Antonio<\/em> that one of the individuals told him, \u201cYour daughter never even existed. Show me her birth certificate. Show me anything to say she was here.\u201d<\/p>\n

While they accosted the pastor, a church member called the police.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Both individuals were filming their interaction with Pomeroy. They \u201ckept trying to bait us to do something, to do something dumb,\u201d Pomeroy said.<\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s website claims the shootings at Sutherland Springs, Texas; Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida; Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut; the country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada; and the bombing at the Boston Marathon are all government hoaxes.<\/p>\n

Before his experience with the pair, Pomeroy said he thought they were \u201cplaying some angle.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after being harassed by them personally, the pastor said, \u201cI think he\u2019s truly demented. I think he truly believes his own rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pomeroy said he\u2019s already had to deal with one person who lived in an \u201calternate reality,\u201d referring to the gunman who killed 26 and injured 20 others at First Baptist.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it takes something happening before you get rid of these guys, then I\u2019m just glad that this \u2018something happening\u2019 happened and nobody got hurt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
