Four people were abducted on April 1 in Haiti while they were performing live on Facebook.

Four people, including a pastor and a well-known pianist, were kidnapped late Thursday night — and it all played out live on social media.

The group, members of the Seventh-day Adventist Gospel Kreyòl Ministry Church in Diquini on the outskirts of metropolitan Port-au-Prince, were performing live on Facebook and YouTube in a studio adjacent to their church when a heavily armed man walked up to the stage and abducted them.
