A criminal case has been opened based on Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code (murder of two or more people). A psychiatric evaluation has been scheduled for the man, who may be arrested in the near future.

Mother Liudmilla, pray for us poor sinners.
ReplyDeleteSo, if the shooter was drunk, then he was not motivated to kill because the people were orthodox. So, are the killed people martyrs?
ReplyDeleteThe murderer sought out worshippers in a church, not Starbuck's habitués or folks on a city bus. The decision whether the victims may publicly be regarded as martyrs is, of course, properly left to the hierarchy and the Holy Spirit, but unless there are serious distortions of facts as reported, this matter is obvious.
