Authorities in Alabama are expected to hold a press conference Friday morning after a gunman opened fire inside a church, killing two members and wounding a third. A suspect is in custody.
Emergency dispatchers got a call at around 6:20 p.m. Thursday reporting an active shooter at Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church in the Birmingham suburb of Vestavia Hills, said Police Capt. Shane Ware.
The wounded victim was being treated at a hospital, Ware said late Thursday. Police declined to identify the suspect or the victims or provide further details on the attack.
