suspect caught...white male in his 50's or 60's...sounds about Right.


Sedgwick County 911 dispatchers are confirming that the Johnson County Sheriff's Department has arrested a possible suspect in Dr. George Tiller's murder. A car matching the description of the vehicle wanted in the killing was pulled over near Gardner, KS.

Kansas City television stations report the stop was made along I-35 near Gardner, south of Kansas City.

Dr. Tiller was shot and killed this morning at his church. Authorities were called to a shooting at Reformation Lutheran Church in the 7600 block of E. 13th Street at 10:03 this morning.

Sources close to the investigation and the controversial abortion doctor confirm that George Tiller was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after emergency crews arrived. Although Police Captain Brent Allred is not formally naming the victim of the shooting, he does classify the case as "high-profile" and that the victim has been the target of violence in the past. The police department has scheduled a news conference at 4 p.m. this afternoon to discuss today's events.

The suspect's car is described as a powder blue or light blue Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. He is described as a white male in his 50's or 60's, 6'1," 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants. The car is licensed to Merriam, Kansas.

Several church goers have been taken to City Hall for interviews.

Earlier this year, Tiller was acquitted of 19 misdemeanor criminal charges that he did not follow state law when getting a second opinion on late-term abortions. A jury acquitted Tiller of those charges on March 27.

On August 19, 1993, Tiller was shot outside his East Wichita abortion clinic by pro-life activist Shelly Shannon. He was wounded in both arms, but made a full recovery. Shannon was eventually convicted.

why is it only the right wing that takes it to this level...and we are supposed to fear animal rights activists and eco freaks who torch SUVs?
