VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. (AP) — Funerals for 3 folks killed by a gunman throughout a church potluck dinner in Alabama will likely be held this week, the church’s pastor mentioned Monday.
Providers for Walter Bartlett Rainey, Sarah Sharon Yeager and Jane Kilos will happen at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, the place the three church members had been fatally shot Thursday evening, the Rev. John Burruss wrote in a publish on the church’s web site.
The church was holding a month-to-month dinner described as a “Boomers Potluck” on Thursday when a customer sitting by himself drew a handgun and commenced capturing. Rainey, Yeager and Kilos had been all shot earlier than one other church member struck the gunman with a chair and disarmed him, in response to a former St. Stephen’s pastor who spoke with witnesses. The attacker was then held till police arrived.
Prosecutors have charged Robert Findlay Smith, 70, with capital homicide within the shootings.
Funerals for Rainey and Yeager are scheduled for Wednesday, the pastor mentioned, adopted by the funeral service for Kilos on Thursday.
