Louisiana Pastor Shot Dead During Church Service

Louisiana (AP) -- A Louisiana pastor has been shot and killed during a night time revival service, and authorities say a suspect has been arrested. Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers says the shooting occurred about 8:20 pm Friday at Tabernacle of Praise Worship Centre in Lake Charles. Myers says a gunman walked into the church and shot Pastor Ronald J Harris Sr. "as he was preaching." Harris was pronounced dead at the scene. Myers says 53-year-old Woodrow Karey of Lake Charles is charged with second-degree murder and was held in the parish jail Saturday. Myers says authorities are investigating and have not determined a motive for the shooting.
