Headline might be inaccurate. Gunman was run over by a deacon with a truck in the parking lot and shot by a security guard that sustained the wound to the leg.
You're right that the local pronunciation I'm more used to is FOY-YAY for first syllable, not PHO-YAY.
In French, most words, particularly verbs even though this is a noun, that end in -ER are pronouced as EH (as in the same sound as a long form letter "A") rather than an UR sound, such as in FUR.
If it turns out to be a muzzie, anybody want to set a number on how many times we will hear, "Not all Muslims", "Religion of Peace", and "I fear for the safety of Muslims?"

Geez that's almost comical. Like "Dorf Commits a Hate Crime" level of mishap
So maybe the assailant came out, figured out he was outnumbered, and retreated to the parking lot before getting run over?
Personally I think he was run over on sight
I've never been to church with a security guard, let alone one that was packing.
Do Americans pronounce the "foyer" room as the PHO-YUR, with YUR as in "yurt"?
I've always heard it pronounced the PHO-YAY
But where I am there's a lot more French Canadian influence.
Typically I hear it as FOY-YUR, like Foil and Yurt.

There is no American pronunciation of anything. We have 8 names for a long sandwich and 12 names for soft drinks.

if it turns out to be a muslim, the timing is way too coincidental.
I hear you, and maybe it's connected to Iran.
Israel is equally possible
No name released yet, so pretty good odds he wasn't white.
I was thinking white because it said the driver drove. A colored would have got the truck drove into and a gun fired treatment
Police when the suspect IS white :
