An Ohio pastor has been shot and killed at the pulpit during services at a Dayton church.
A man who witnesses identified as the pastor’s brother was taken into custody.
CBS affiliate WHIO in Dayton reports that the victim, 70-year-old William Schooler, was a beloved community leader.
Authorities have confirmed the shooting reported at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday at St. Peter’s Missionary Baptist Church, but have not yet released an official statement.
Witnesses who were in the church said the choir was singing when the suspect walked up to the pastor and opened fire. Parishioners reported streaming out of the church after the shooting.
The pastor later died of his injuries.
