US president Barack Obama has said he is shocked and outraged at the murder of a top doctor who performed late-term abortions.
Dr George Tiller, the object of decades of protests and attacks, was shot dead in front of his wife in a Kansas church where he was serving as an usher.
A 51-year-old man was arrested 170 miles away in Kansas City three hours after the shooting on Sunday.
Johnson County sheriff's spokesman Tom Erickson identified the suspect as Scott Roeder.

I am not excusing the murder of the mass murder. He should not have done it. But then Obama should not have helped make it a probability.
This idiot thinks he’s helping advance the pro-life message, but all he will accomplish is giving the pro-murder (aka “pro-choice”) people one more nut-job to use to paint the whole movement as a bunch of hypocritical radicals. He didn’t do the pro-life message any favors.
They had excellent descriptions of him, his car, and specifically his vanity plates.
I would imagine an APB went out to the Kansas HP fairly quick.
Frankly I’m surprised a church would allow him serve in any position given his obvious disagreement with the most basic of Christian doctrines.
Attend, yes. Usher, no.
Nice bit of reporting here.
I cant recall a abortion mill bombing or shooting in the last five years. Some string.
But this is AP and exaggeration to make those on the Right appear to be extremist is their hallmark. Leftist propaganda at its best here folks.
Correct me if I am wrong.
So will the Liberal Messiah, and His apostles, use this killing to justify the DHS report about Conservatives and veterans being potential terrorists? I don’t think this is a hard question.
I’m outraged that a Kenyan can be the POTUS, and a puke liberal one at that!
That is a tough one to agree with. Sometimes, I believe acting outside the law is the RIGHT, not WRONG, thing to do. To many people, late term abortions are government sanctioned murder of children. If that is one's hardcore belief, then as long as the shooter is willing to take his punishment, then so be it. He did what was right for him.
We all make decisions every day that have consequences and rewards. The shooter just happened to be dealing with one of the most serious decisions you can possibly deal with - taking a human life.
They had a description of the car and apparently the license plate number too, from earlier reports. And no doubt every policeman in the state was watching for that vehicle.
If the guy had forgotten about a new-fangled technology called "radio" and just simply hopped on a freeway rather than take evasive measures, well, that would explain this.
I remember being pulled over back in the 80s because my car matched that of a suspect's vehicle. Whatever info they had on him I didn't match the profile so they let me go in very short order.
Well, the top doctor can take his pat on the back from Satan for a job well done.
Before that was the guy who shot the abortionist and hid in the mountains for months.
It’s OK to kill babies in a vicious partial BIRTH abortion but a tragedy to kill the mass murderer. Bad Karma....
Abort Obama not the unborn
outrage is pointless until we know the facts of the case.
This needs to go to the jury.
Does anyone have jury duty soon?
A bit too gleeful... Unfortunately, someone will take up his task (although hopefully, he/she will have second thought now. That is the upside of this....
I really detest this SOB - he’s a sick man. I wish he’d have gone to a shrink instead of the White House.
Someone today mentioned, regarding his SCOTUS nominee, why is zero attracted to angry people: Sotomayor, his wife, the “reverend” Wright, Ayers and who knows who else. I don’t think we’ve yet seen the worst he can do.
I agree. He seems like he has a lot of problems. Being abandoned by both his parents was not a great beginning.
Wait a minute — was he murdered or just aborted in the 204th trimester?
