KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - A Kansas doctor reviled by
anti-abortion groups for his work providing "late-term" abortions was
shot and killed in his Wichita, Kansas church on Sunday, and police
said they captured the man responsible.
Police
said they planned to charge a 51-year-old man on Monday with homicide
and two counts of aggravated assault in the death of 67-year-old George
Tiller, who died from a single gunshot.
Tiller
was shot while serving as an usher for Sunday services in the foyer at
Reformation Lutheran Church. The shooter threatened two other men at
the church who tried to intervene, police said.
"We
feel that this is an act of an isolated individual, however our
investigation continues," said Wichita deputy police chief Tom Stolz.
Stolz said they were investigating whether the shooter had any ties to anti-abortion groups.
