A Utah man has been arrested for allegedly walking into a church on Father's Day and shooting his father-in-law in the back of the head in front of horrified parishioners. Police say Charles Richard Jennings Jr., 35, stole a pickup truck at gunpoint after the incident at a Catholic church in Ogden but was captured hours later in the next county, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The injured man is in critical condition but is expected to survive.

Police describe the shooting as a "domestic violence-related incident." Witnesses say Jennings entered the church hand-in-hand with his wife before walking over to a pew and shooting her father. "I’m assuming he brought her to church to watch him kill her father on Father’s Day," a witness tells the Standard-Examiner said. "How dare he come into our sacred little church and do something like this."

Don’t ya just love that little scarf he has wrapped around his neck? Did his buds in prison give him that ... from behind?

I noticed that the referenced articles don’t say if this was a posted gun free zone or not..

He will be ‘riding the needle’, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I could improve the looks of his neck with some therapeutic treatment with one of these devices:

Covering up a bunch of butt-ugly tatoos.

He was a real catch for the daughter. She must be quite a loser herself.

I forget, what’s that art form which takes a scene and stretches it around a reflective surface?

[MHGinTN]

I would bet she is rather ‘tooed’ herself.

Disgusting coward.

Totally dead eyes.

Hopefully he won't live long enough to receive any more tats.

But our legal system will probably extend the creature's life span several more decades.

The next needle he sees won’t be held by a tattoo artist.

In our church, the dude would've been Swiss cheese with several deacons drawing on him.

They get uglier and uglier...beastly looking characters!

He’s just upset that Miss Utah gave such a lousy answer in the Miss USA pageant.

I hope you're right.
