Excerpt:
Two other men from New England -- the Revs. David Davis, of the Grace Bible Baptist Church in Vernon, Conn., and Kirk DiVietro, a pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Franklin, Mass. -- were injured in the attack, their families said.
A Newburgh, N.Y., minister was also wounded, according to Vukic. The van's driver, an Iraqi, was not injured, Vukic said.
Mr. Kelley, a former Marine, had been pastor of the close-knit congregation of about 120 people for 18 years, according to Vukic. He leaves his wife, Jane; and four children: Jenney, 15; Jason, 17; James, 21, and Julia, 23.

According to Vukic's account, Pastor Kelley was sitting behind the Iraqi driver, and took the first shots.
"What he did was a totally unselfish act," he said. "He was willing to give his life so that people would hear the message that Jesus had."
