In what seemingly looks like another pointless, cowardly crime, Mormon Bishop, Clay Sannar was gunned down in his office in between church services at the Church of Latter–Day Saints in Visalia, CA Sunday.

It is unknown why the shooter, Kenneth James Ward committed this horrific crime, and it’s possible we will never find out. Kenneth James Ward ran approximately one mile to a pay phone where he called the police, saying he was the shooter. When the police arrived, he began firing at them. Police shot Ward, who was then pronounced dead at the hospital.

Bishop Clay Sanner only began at the Visalia church about four months ago. He was a faithful husband, and father of 6 children. He will be missed dearly by his congregation. The following statement was released by the LDS church, “We have learned of the shooting incident in Visalia, California today which has taken the life of Bishop Clay Sannar. At this tragic time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Sannar family and all who knew Bishop Sannar.”

Police have not come up with a motive as of yet.
