Loaded Rifle Left In Church Office For Gun Buy-Back Program

$100 Gift Vouchers Given For Guns

Summit County police and area ministers want your guns.

The Jerusalem Baptist churches in Akron will start its Goods for Guns program on Friday and Saturday.

Unofficially, the buy-back program began on Monday when someone left two rifles in a church office.

One of the rifles was even loaded.

"That could've been an accident in someone's home with someone's family because it was just there for several years for what I understood, and if a grandchild visits her family member, niece or nephew had to come to the home, then we would not be reporting that the gun was turned in but was used in an actual shooting," said Pastor Marc Neal.

People who turn in their guns will receive a $100 gift voucher.
