Priest killed, another one injured in attack at Catholic church in Phoenix

I'm in Phoenix for Executive Council and this story is headlining-

A priest was killed and another critically wounded in an attack at a Catholic church in Phoenix, police said early Thursday.

The Rev. Kenneth Walker was fatally shot, and the Rev. Joseph Terra is hospitalized in critical condition, police and church officials said. It was not clear what type of weapon was used to attack Terra, Sgt. Steve Martos of the Phoenix Police Department said.


A 911 call came in about 9 p.m. Wednesday (12 a.m. ET Thursday) from the Mater Misericordiae, or Mother of Mercy, Mission Catholic Church, Martos said.


The church celebrates Mass in the traditional Latin.


The emergency call to police was for a burglary and was made by one of the victims, Martos said.
