Police in northeast Ohio are investigating a shooting outside a church that a parishioner says left one man dead after an Easter service today, the USA Today website reports.
A member of the Hiawatha Church of God in Christ in Ashtabula (Ohio) said the man was shot soon after Easter services ended around 1:15 p.m. today. Joan Crockett said the man knew the shooter, and that a suspect was taken into custody. She added that the wounded man died.
The church's pastor said congregants were leaving when they heard a gunshot.
"People pushed me into a back office and said, 'Somebody's her with a gun,'" said the Rev. David Howard Jr. There were no reports of any other injuries at the church, which has about 175 members.
