Arkansas preacher who was shot while sharing gospel forgives gunman: 'We can't hold bitterness and anger'
Reverend Larry Oneal Walker spends his Sundays preaching at a busy intersection in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
The street preacher recently spoke out after a gunman opened fire while he was sharing the gospel on June 2. Walker reflected on the moment that could have taken his life.
Walker told Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview that a man aggressively approached him and attempted to grab his microphone. (See the video at the top of this article.)

When Walker told the man he could not have it, the man said he had a gun.
The two struggled, and the man shot him.

“I fell to the ground, checked my side with a handful of blood. The next thing I did was put my hands on my head and started praying,” Walker said.
Walker said he forgives the man who shot him, citing John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son.”

“As a Christian, we must forgive one another,” said Walker.
“We can’t hold bitterness and anger and strife in our hearts against one another.”
Rev. Larry Oneal Walker has been preaching for over 50 years; he’s been preaching in the streets for the past 15 years. “I see miracles all the time, all the time,” he told Fox News Digital. (LaKiesa Walker)
Walker said the doctors told him the manner in which the bullet entered the side of his body was “a miracle” as it grazed past his vital organs.

“I see miracles all the time, all the time. That’s why I said, ‘I cannot die. I will not die. I can’t get sick. I will not get sick because the Lord has given me life,’” he said.
LaKeisa Walker, Walker’s daughter, said it was a horrific moment when she answered the phone and learned that her father had been shot.

“We were standing on the scripture that, ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper,’ so we believed that that was a weapon formed against him, but it did not prosper… God manifested a healing, a miracle through him that day,” she told Fox News Digital.
She said her father’s story touched not just the Arkansas community, but hers in Texas as well.
“They are just like, ‘That was God.’ It strengthened not only my faith, but the whole community,” she said.

Walker has been preaching for the past 50 years.
He began street preaching 15 years ago.
“This is why our nation has been so strong, because we believe in the Almighty God,” said Walker.
Walker told Fox News Digital that he forgives the man who shot him on June 2, adding, “We can’t hold bitterness and anger and strife in our hearts against one another.” (LaKeisa Walker)
He said America is healing — and that the loss of faith across the country has led to confusion and division.
Between 2007 and 2021, the percentage of adults who identify as not religiously affiliated has grown from 16% to 29%, according to the Pew Research Center.
“America had been wounded with this evil spirit of hate,” said Walker.
“Well, we’re loving people. America [is] the best, blessed nation on the planet. There is no other nation greater than America.”
Eighty percent of U.S. adults say that religion has lost its influence in society, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in February.
“We need to turn to God.”
LaKeisa Walker said, “We need to turn to God. I think this can be a beginning, a genesis of a movement across the country… Turn to God in such a time as this that our world is heading in right now.”
Walker has not had any contact with the suspect since the incident.
The individual, identified as 20-year-old Latarryes Bush of North Little Rock, is currently being held without bond, pending his initial court appearance in North Little Rock District Court, Fox News Digital learned in a media release shared by the North Little Rock Police Department.

Treatment will delay the Royal Oak-born actor’s plans to tour his new film ‘Ernie & Emma’ this summer.
Royal Oak-born movie star and cult hero Bruce Campbell announced on social media on Monday that he has been diagnosed cancer — a type that is “treatable” but not “curable,” he said.
“I apologize if that’s a shock — it was to me too,” the “Evil Dead” star, 67, wrote in a message posted to Instagram.
He went on to say “I’m not gonna go into any more detail,” and he didn’t. He said the public announcement had to do with scaling back appearances on his schedule, including tour dates behind his latest film, “Ernie & Emma.”
Campbell planned to show the movie June 5 at the Redford Theatre; as of Monday night, that date is still on the Redford schedule, but Campbell wrote in his note he plans to get “as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie ‘Ernie & Emma’ this fall.”
The movie is written, directed by and stars Campbell as a man who goes on a journey following the death of his wife. Campbell produced the movie alongside his wife, Ida Gearon, and filmed it in Oregon, where he now lives.
Campbell told The News in January he dedicated “Ernie & Emma” to his childhood moviemaking pals, including Scott Spiegel, who died of a heart attack in September 2025.
“It’s a callback to the carefree days of Super 8, where we could do whatever the f–k we wanted to do,” Campbell said of “Ernie & Emma.” “So I thought, ‘All the boys are responsible for this,’ so they’re all in there.”
Campbell got his start making movies around Metro Detroit with his childhood pal, Sam Raimi. Campbell starred in Raimi’s “Evil Dead” trilogy and has since appeared in most of Raimi’s films; Campbell makes a brief appearance in a photograph in the background of an early scene in Raimi’s latest, “Send Help.”
He’s also an author; Campbell’s autobiography “If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor” was published in 2001.
In his post on social media, Campbell thanked fans and said he was not out to elicit sympathy.
“Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around for a while,” he wrote.

For Pi Day, grocery shoppers get quizzed on what pi means
From the video archive, Columnist Jim Stingl quizzes Whole Foods Market customers on the mathematical pi. Video originally published March 14, 2010.
For math enthusiasts and foodies, Pi Day on March 14 is upon us once again.
We all know what pie is, but what the heck is pi? Pi ― 3.14 ― is the ratio of the circumference of a circle (the distance around the outside of it) to the diameter of that circle (the distance edge-to-edge). As we may have learned in math class, no matter the size of the circle, pi is always 3.14.
Hence on March 14, many bakeries and eateries in and around Milwaukee are offering pie sales and diverse pie selections. A selection of them are listed below.
Note that pie availability is typically while supplies last and preordering or calling beforehand is recommended. If there is a bakery or restaurant that is recognizing Pi Day and is not included in this list, let us know so we can add it.
