Priest killed, another injured in US shooting



Police were hunting Thursday a gunman or gunmen who killed one priest and injured another at a Catholic church in Arizona.
The priest who survived was able to give the last rites to his fatally-hit colleague before he died, police told reporters after the mystery attack Wednesday night in Phoenix, reports AFP.

An intruder or intruders broke into the Mother of Mercy church around 9:30 pm Wednesday. A 911 emergency call for burglary was made by Father Joseph Terra, as he comforted his dying colleague, Father Kenneth Walker.

US Shooting: 13 people Shot



They tumbled to the sidewalk or ran for cover, scraping and kicking fruitlessly at the locked front door of an apartment building amid a spray of gunfire from two cars speeding down North Capitol Street early Monday.
The backdrop was Tyler House, a subsidized-apartment building where violence has visited all too frequently for residents and police. As crime drops across the District and an adjacent neighborhood enjoys a burst of redevelopment, Tyler House remains a stubborn remnant of the area’s history of violence.
In the end, 13 people were hit in the drive-by shooting Monday, nearly all of them grazed or struck in their arms or legs. One victim took a bullet to the lower back and was described as being in critical condition.
Police said they had few answers to explain the shooting: no motive, no arrests, no information about a gun. Mostly, they and other city officials struggled to assure the public that a quickly gentrifying corner of the city is safe.
