Haiti - FLASH : An armed group attacks a church in Haiti in the middle of a religious service
Sunday October 8, 2023, around ten hooded and heavily armed individuals dressed in military fatigues and police uniforms, burst into the Rendez-vous Christ church, located in Delmas 75 around 7:30 a.m. during the first religious service officiated by Pastor Julio Volcy.

According to some information, the aim of this intrusion was to kidnap Pastor Julio Volcy, but members of the Pastor's security managed to evacuate him before...

Despite the failure of the kidnapping, the bandits robbed the faithful of their money, cell phones, wallets, handbags and other valuables. The bandits left with at least one hostage according to testimonies.

One of the bandits was fatally injured near the church by the Haitian National Police (PNH) who quickly arrived on the scene, alerted by social networks.

Elsewhere, these armed individuals encountered a police officer in his vehicle on Catalpa Street, forced him to get out to steal his vehicle and shot him dead. This is Marc Elie Azaël, Agent 3 of the 22nd promotion of the PNH, assigned to the Intervention Corps for Maintaining Order (CIMO). Information confirmed by Lionel Lazare Coordinator of the National Union of Haitian Police Officers (SYNAPOHA)

Upcoming religious services at Rendez-Vous Christ Church (RVC) have been canceled until further notice.
