Police: 3rd victim in Alabama church shooting dies
VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. (AP) — Police say a third victim has died after being shot at a church potluck dinner in Alabama. Vestavia Hills police said in a Facebook post that the 84-year-old woman died at a hospital Friday. Police did not release her name. Police say prosecutors are preparing to charge a 71-year-old man with murder in the shootings Thursday night at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church outside Birmingham. Police Sgt. Shane said the shooter occasionally attended services at the church. Also killed were an 84-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman. Ware says a person in the room eventually restrained the gunman and held him until police arrived.
