Mormon Bishop Shot – Clay Sannar

VISALIA (LALATE) – Mormon Bishop Clay Sannar (photo above) was fatally shot on Sunday in his church office at Visalia’s Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The shooter has yet to be identified.
Today locals are searching for answers why an unidentified shooter came into the office, located in the 1600 block of Burrel and Divisadero shortly after 12 noon Sunday and began shooting at 42 year old Bishop Clay Sannar. Responding police were on scene within minutes, shooting dead the suspect. Yet today police still do have a motive for the deadly attack Sunday.
Visalia California Police Chief Colleen Mestas confirms today that that the shooter called police after killing Sannar, confessed to the murder, and then told them where he was next heading. Mestas says police found him and a gunfight erupted.
Yet despite a dozen investigators assigned to the case, police have no answers. Mestas says church members did not recognize the shooter.

The church where this took place is actually on Tulare St.
I’ve been there many times as a small kid through my teenage years.
Sad to think of something like this happening somewhere that you personally and intimately know. Really strikes deep.
Sorry for the guy’s instability but more sorry for the inocent family and everyone who was there. Including friends of my mothers and perhaps people that I knew many years ago.
