Saturday, May 17, 2008
LOS ANGELES -- A man with a rifle opened fire at a festival outside a
Southern California church Saturday, wounding three people, one of
them critically, police said.
Shots rang out shortly before 11 a.m. outside St. John Baptist de la
Salle, a Roman Catholic church in Granada Hills, Officer Norma
Eisenman said. Bystanders tackled the man and held him until he was
taken into police custody, she said.
The gunman wounded three people, Eisenman said. Two were taken to a
hospital in stable condition and one in critical condition, she said.
Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said another person was
treated for chest pains.
The motive for the attack was not immediately known, Eisenman said.
Church officials did not immediately return calls for comment.
