Eyewitness News has confirmed that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been shot and killed at his Wichita church.
The shooting happened around ten o'clock Sunday morning at the Reformation Lutheran Church.
Location of Church
Police have a suspect description. The suspect is described as a white male in his 50's or 60's with grey hair that is balding in the middle. He is about 6'1" and about 220 pounds and was wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
The suspect was last seen in a light blue Ford Taurus, possibly an early 1990's model. It has a K-State vanity plate and a Kansas license plate number 225 BAB.
Tiller was the victim of violence before. On June 9, 1986 someone detonated a homemade bomb on the roof of his Wichita clinic. No one was hurt
During the Summer of Mercy in 1991, protesters blocked the entrance to his facility before a federal judge ruled the protesters be arrested.
Two years later, Dr. Tiller was shot outside his clinic the evening of August 19, 1993. His wounds were not life threatening. Abortion opponent Shelly Shannon was convicted of that shooting and sentenced to prison.

I did not listen to all of your commentary on this case, so forgive me for any repeats. This is not directed at anybody and the "you" is "us".
We as Christians know that killing in order to exact some kind of justice or vengeance is wrong, it is sin. Of course we could get talk about capital punishment and avoid discussing our own death deserving sin, but hold on and look at your own heart.
I am sure there are many Christians that are secretly, or publicly, saying 'good, he deserved it for killing all those babies' but I must ask: have you sinned in your anger over abortion? And is that sin "bad enough" to warrant death in the eyes of God? God has declared all guilty of sin and all are deserving of death (spiritual and physical) so instead of "righteously" taking "glee" in this murder, ask God to have mercy on your soul and then praise Him evermore.
