A North Carolina
man sporting a '666' tattoo on his forehead has been charged with
first-degree murder for fatally stabbing another man in a church, police say. William Everett
Long, 53, stabbed George provost, 61, on Thursday after the two got into an argument
while making sandwiches at Duck United Methodist Church as part of a charity
program in the small town of Duck, WTKR reports. 'This tragedy
doesn't just hit the church, it's hit our community very hard,' Sergeant Jeff
Ackerman told WTKR. Ackerman said that
the two argued and Long pulled a knife out of a kitchen drawer and attacked
Provost.
The victim was
taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at around 8.40am,
according to CBS. Long, who has a
lengthy rap sheet, is being held without bond. Ackerman said that
police are also looking in to the man's unusual '666' tattoo which, in a
biblical context, is associated with the Antichrist.
