Shooting accused 'hated church's liberal policies'

An unemployed lorry driver accused of opening fire at a US church, killing two people, left a note suggesting he targeted the congregation out of hatred for its liberal policies, authorities said.

A four-page letter found in suspect Jim Adkisson's 4x4 car indicated he intentionally targeted the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, because "he hated the liberal movement" and was upset with "liberals in general as well as gays".
