LDS Bishop shot to death in California Church
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | August 29th, 2010 | Associated Press

Posted on 08/30/2010 6:33:31 AM PDT by Jenny Hatch

Visalia, Calif. • A Mormon church official was shot dead between services on Sunday, and less than an hour later, the man suspected of the crime also died after a shootout with police.

Clay Sannar, 42, a lay bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Visalia, southeast of Fresno, died after being shot in his office, said Visalia police chief Colleen Mestas.

Soon after the first shooting, a caller identified himself to police as the shooter. Police responded, and there was a confrontation with several shots exchanged, said Mestas.

The suspect was hit multiple times. He was taken to nearby Kaweah Delta Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He has not been identified yet. No officers were injured, Mestas said.

Tulare County sheriff’s deputies are taking over the investigation of the shootout involving the police officers. The sheriff’s department did not immediately return calls for comment.

Visalia police continue to investigate Sannar’s shooting, but have not identified a motive.

have you had your rabies shot, resty? You seem to be frothing... you make comments to vendome like “May your bloated self fine refuge in a safety pin” RIGHT after you say this about US:

“you never know who is behind these cyber wall many maybe SSA
because many times are lacking in shame and conscience for the things they say...

The spirit of the Lord many times surely is not present or they would not say some of the stuff they say for the Spirit of the Lord would still their tongue

Hypocrisy much? It is obvious that the Spirit of the Lord is NOT present with you (by your own words) since you just did what you claimed we do.

Well, I am sure when JS called us all “whores of Babylon” he said it with a loving spirt.

Must be rose colored because they certainly can’t see truth.

I don’t get your anger or where it comes from, really.

Saundra claimed way back at the beginning of this thread that Inmans or Inman types would take glee or find any kind of joy is Mr. Sannar’s death at the hands of this crazed lunatic.

And yet you call me bloated with a rather large ego?

It takes some stretch of imagination for anyone on this thread to find one person who condoned or found the slightest joy in the death of Mr. Sannar.

That, my friend is not only an invented ego, but most surely one that is fat with pride unjustified and sanctioned by no one, anywhere.

I know the Lord did not anoint any of you

Only the Lord, who is all knowing, not assuming!

Didn’t realized I had copied you.

My apologies. I know we agreed to no longer communicate due to the friction you experience and the unsustainable discomfort.

Have a good weekend.

Proving your point with my comment? Lol! “Boy you two kinds of crazy!” If your point was that people are people whatever their faith, then yep good and bad, bond and free, polite and rude every groups got some. The question I have to ask is which kind am I and the only valid answers come from my lord who knows my heart and I.

As for the practice of restraining overzealous peers, can we'll expect to see you set the example?

Be well FRiend.

You are right Resty, the Mormon “lord” did not anoint any of us Inmans.

Being safe in the arms of our loving Savior Jesus Christ, that Devil cannot even get close to us...

None of my "peers" condoned or sanctioned the accusations against the FI's of being "accessories" to murder.

Yours did.

Hi Resty! I've missed your sweet spirit, how've you been? Did you ever get my FReepmail? I had good news and was hoping you would be happy for me.

a) How would you know because, as you pointed out, only the Lord is all-knowing?

b) You are wrong

Sheesh T-minus...do they ever let off the nasty pedal? And this is Mormon? I think not....seems to be a counterfeit possibly of a counterfeit? or something else altogether. But I would dare say if their Mormon leadership knew of the mouths I see here they would surely have a word or two to say to these folks.

Matt 7

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

It is always good to be aware but in the end it is the Lord who knows all!

One should strive to never allow ones person ax to grind to malign another.

Wrongo. I can judge you. I can not judge your heart that is up to God. However, everything else I can judge you against the Word of God. It is my right. If you actually knew what Scripture means you would know this.
