A 26-year-old outreach director is in critical condition after being reportedly shot in the head Wednesday while street preaching outside a Glendale, Arizona, church, according to multiple outlets.

During a press briefing, Glendale Police Department (GPD) Officer Gina Winn stated that Hans Schmidt was standing on the busy street corner around 6:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, where he was “preaching about a church service at a local community church” when an unknown perpetrator shot him in the head.

Friends of the 26-year-old said he had been out on the corner with a megaphone preaching to people as they passed by, an activity that was common for him, according to AZ Family. One local resident noted that people had been “yelling at him,” telling Schmidt to “get off the street,” per the outlet.

“There was a lot of everything, really — hateful comments, people yelling at him, ‘get off the street,’ all sorts of mean things,” Paul Sanchez, a local worker who was nearby at the time of the incident, told AZ Family.
