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.

WHOA! Follow back on the thread! I was not the one who made that nasty comment. I was responding to it.
I am not a Mormon! I was responding to Mormon who made that nasty comment.
I don't normally make nasty comments. I can lean toward sarcastic or snarky on occasion but rarely nasty. I could challenge you to find a nasty comment from me and maybe you could find one but it's not my usual style.
ONE wonders if the person who posts this EVER reads one's own posts!!
Thanks Resty :-) I knew you would be pleased for me!
Yes, exactly. Why are you trying to judge if anyone else has been annointed? That’s God’s job.
Oh my gosh - I just re-read your post! LOL! Sorry Caww, I should have known you knew me better :-) No, they never seem to let up on the nasty pedal. There is power in anonymity I think. I would give much to sit down face-to-face with a few of my FReeper LDS “FRiends”.
because many times are lacking in shame and conscience for the things they say...
But then say this..May your bloated self fine refuge in a safety pin
And within a few posts!! Amazing!!
Crickets....once again.
Sounds like one of your "prophets"......
Named B. Young.....a guy that you all run away from...faster than chickens from coyote's.
“You, as adults and humans, should take a moment of introspect and find shame.”
I am not ashamed of anything I have posted on this thread and I have no idea what you are talking about.

“Saundra - just because someone leaves the LDS does not make them mentally ill.”
I never said that but I can’t help it if the killer was an anti Mormon who was mentally ill. His mental illness and his anti Mormonism are well documented.
Sandy in your statement to R you did in fact equate the two.
"...There have been several here on FR that have lauded the massacre of Mormons & Gov. Boggs’ extermination order of Mormons in the 1800’s, saying it was justified. It’s a shame, but I’m quite certain there are some Christian Jahadists here applauding this guys actions. A VERY small minority for sure, but despicably vocal.
How long before they show up here?"

I was thinking the same thing but didn’t have the nerve to post it. Thank you for your boldness.
How long before they show up here?
Uhm, never. No one condones murder.

You compounded this tragedy with a false accusation of which I have yet to find one indecent post that conforms to your narrative.
So, I stand by my statement:
Shame on you and Reno232. You are very callous and callow ignoramouses who wouldn't say anything like you posted in person.
Oh, and you either have amnesia or you are a liar out of convenience
Well you should be ashamed.
And I absolutely know what I AM TALKING about.
I'm sorry for you really....
Ouch.
Saundra, you can't feign ignorance about how your statements were being read. Go back to post #154 where you were asked to clarify what exactly you meant.
true mormon colors showing placemarker
quite.
He was full of hot air and you have no humor...
- - - - -
No he wasn’t and you are right, i have no sense of humor when people of low character are dissing my friends.
Didn’t you take a vow against ‘lightmindedness’?? Maybe you should go to the temple to be reminded of it.
