Tenn. church shooter angry at ‘liberals and gays.’

Knoxville police say that the man who shot two people to death inside a Tennessee Unitarian church yesterday “was frustrated at being unable to find a job and blamed liberals and gays” in an angry letter detailing his violent plans. Authorities said they believed the suspect chose a Unitarian church “because of ‘some publicity in the recent past regarding its liberal stance on things.’”
