Man arrested in connection with US abortion doctor's murder
A man suspected of shooting dead a well-known doctor in Kansas who performed late-term abortions was in jail today as investigators investigated his background, including the extent of his connections to anti-abortion groups.
Dr George Tiller, 67, was serving as an usher during morning services in Wichita yesterday when he was shot in the foyer of the Reformation Lutheran Church, police said. The gunman fired one shot at Dr Tiller and threatened two other people who tried to stop him.
