Five Dead in Church Shooting in Baton Rouge
A man opened fire at a Baton Rouge church, killing four relatives of his wife and fatally shooting her. Erica Bell had filed a restraining order against him last year. Anthony Bell, 25, faces murder charges, kidnapping, and attempted murder as authorities say he abducted his wife and three children, who were later found unharmed. The pastor, Bell's mother-in-law Claudia Brown, was hospitalized in serious condition. The church operates in a warehouse space and is led by Brown, who founded it. Police call the acts senseless and tragic for the community.
