Man charged in Illinois church shooting
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - March 9, 2009
Stephanee Smith of the Madison County state's attorney's office
says suspect Terry Sedlacek is charged with first-degree murder and
aggravated battery. Smith says prosecutors aren't commenting on a
motive.
Sedlacek is accused of killing the Rev. Fred Winters, who was
shot during his sermon at the sprawling First Baptist Church in
Maryville on Sunday. Smith says Sedlacek also is accused of
wounding two worshippers who fought to subdue him after he
allegedly pulled a knife.
Chief Judge Ann Callis on Monday also ordered Sedlacek held
without bond. He remains hospitalized in St. Louis with
self-inflicted knife wounds.
One of the parishioners also remains hospitalized in serious
condition.
