Reverend Hyung Jin Moon, the church's pastor and the son of the late Sun Myung Moon, participates in a ceremony at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania on February 28, 2018 in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania.

The semiautomatic rifles are similar to the weapons used in a Florida high school shooting two weeks earlier. Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
