HARTSELLE, Ala.  (BNC) — William Jeremy Hulsey, 43, gospel preacher with the Aldridge Grove congregation in Moulton, and his wife Sandra, 37, were killed in their home Thursday night, according to Jamie Suiter.

Police have arrested Andrew Kyle Hulsey, 23, and charged him with two counts of capital murder, according to WHNT TV station.

The television report said Andrew had been adopted as a teenager by the couple.

Jeremy was a 1997 graduate of the Memphis School of Preaching, according to one Facebook poster.

Jamie called the Moulton congregation and confirmed the identity of the preacher and his connection to the Aldridge Grove church.

Jamie asked for everyone to keep this family, congregation, and community in prayer.

Don Laymon of Moulton shared this message from Joyce McMillan Kirksey,
a long-time member of the Aldridge Grove body:

Please pray for Aldridge Grove Church of Christ and these families. Last night Jeremy & Sandra Hulsey, our preacher and his wife, and a very devout Christian couple, died at the hands of their son, and also only child, in a senseless shooting. There are no words to express the emptiness, loss, pain, and heavy hearts of us and their families. Although we don’t understand, we know that God is always in control.
