BREAKING NEWS Catholic priest is stabbed to death in the rectory of his church in Nebraska: Cops find suspect inside the property after cleric called 911 to report break-in at 5am

The suspect who stabbed a Catholic priest to death in a small Nebraska community has been identified.

Kierre L. Williams, 43, of Sioux County, Iowa was arrested for killing Rev. Stephen Gutgsell, 65, during an invasion at the rectory of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Fort Calhoun.

Williams was charged with homicide and use of a weapon to commit a felony, the Washington County Sheriff said.

Gutgsell was taken to an Omaha hospital where he died from his stab injuries, church officials said.

The suspect was taken to Washington County Jail and the sheriff's office said that the investigation is ongoing.

Gutgsell, 65, placed a call to 911 around 5am, in which he told police that someone was attempting to break into the rectory.

Cops found Gutgsell injured and an alleged attacker inside and it is unclear what William's motive was for killing Gutgsell.

'He is not from the area. He is not from Fort Calhoun or even Nebraska as far as we know about.'

The statement from the local church said: 'The Washington County Sheriff's Office is investigating, and there are no further details at this time.

Given that blacks constitute 4% of American Catholics it seems unlikely, but that shouldn’t stand in the way of a good old fashioned gratuitous swipe

The FBI would consider this as self defense against a terrorist.

You forgot to add “for the rest of his life. Unless of course some malicious lefty Governor decides to commute is sentence.”

I cannot locate anything as of 10:41pm ET.

Two places just said it was not known if he has a lawyer. That’s it.
Odd no one says anything else.

I shouldn’t have talked loosely about the priest past “assume he is innocent until proven guilty.”

May the priest rest in peace.
