2 women shot in Ellicott City church; 1 dead; man found fatally shot nearby

From Baltimore-


A woman was found fatally shot Thursday evening in St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Ellicott City, a man was discovered dead on the grounds nearby and another woman was critically injured by gunfire — turning a quiet, family neighborhood near the historic downtown into a crime scene.

Police and SWAT team members swarmed the 3600 block of Rogers Ave., just up the hill from the historic mill town's Main Street, and blocked off a section of the road after receiving a call about 5:20 p.m. from a custodian at the church, who said he'd found two women in a church office suffering from gunshot wounds.

Inside the church, police found one of the women dead. The other woman, who was in critical condition, was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, police said.

My heart brakes for this congregation. I am so sorry for the those who were injuried and died. My prayers and condolences go out to my brothers and sisters in the Episcopal church. Your Christian colleagues in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ... suffer with you. May the Lord comfort you.
