Pastor says could have averted the killings
The Rev J W Mondy of Percy Assembly of God says he believes he could have stopped James Cantwell, who killed Sparta auxiliary policeman William Graves and wounded three others before being killed by authorities. Cantwell, a parolee from Menard Correctional Center, had trusted Mondy and visited him after moving to Randolph County last July. Cantwell’s motive and timeline are outlined by witnesses and investigators in Percy and nearby Steeleville as the town mourns the shooting’s victims.
