From a Facebook friend:
Latest update: I just received excellent news from a friend who was at the hospital. Pastor Tim was shot SIX times, apparently with a .45 ACP. Broken pelvis, broken arm, collapsed lung but no other internal organ damage! One round to the neck area but there does not appear to be any paralysis. He is going to be OK! Keep your prayers coming for him and his family. God is great and merciful!
