Peace's statement reads: "As alleged, the defendants introduced firearms into a place of worship, robbing two members of the clergy and terrifying the congregation in the process"...adding, "to commit such an act during a church service is incomprehensible."
Peace notes that a third suspect is still at large.
The incident was filmed during the live broadcast of the service...showing Bishop Lamor Whitehead stopping mid-service and quickly getting to the ground -- as two men began to remove items from him .

Whitehead tells TMZ..."Today is the beginning of healing. We will let the justice system continue to function while I continue to do what God has called me to do."< /p>
Some have attributed the crime to Whitehead flaunting luxury cars and bling online...but he goes on to say he hopes those who point the finger at him "will understand that me, my family and my church we are the victims and not the villains.”
