KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A city official says a second victim hasdied following a shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian
Universalist Church in Knoxville.
The dead are identified as 61-year-old Linda Kraeger and
60-year-old Greg McKendry.
Witnesses credit McKendry, a church usher, with shielding others
during the attack which occurred as kids were performing a play. No
children were hurt, but seven other people were injured. Five
remain hospitalized, all in critical or serious condition.
Police say the FBI is assisting in the investigation in case it
was a hate crime. One church member says the gunman was shouting
"hateful" words. Police have been collecting video cameras from
church members.
Fifty-eight-year-old suspect Jim Adkisson is charged with
first-degree murder.
The gunman's motive is not yet known. The church is known for
promoting progressive social work, such as desegregation and
fighting for the rights of women, gays and the homeless.
