A 71-year-old man arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting two parishioners and injuring another at an Alabama church.
A small-group meeting on June 16 was subdued and held down by an attendee of that meeting, police said.
The suspect, who is in custody, shot dead Walter Rainey, 84, and Sarah Yeager, 75, during a small group’s potluck dinner at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills outside Birmingham, police said.
The third gunshot victim, an 84-year-old woman whose family requested her name be withheld, died Friday at a hospital, Vestavia Hills police said.
Investigators believe the suspect acted alone, and they are trying to determine the motive, Ware said.
Authorities were searching a home connected to the shooting, police said in a Facebook post Friday.
