Police: Man Shot Churchgoers Over Liberal Views, Gay Inclusion

An out-of-work truck driver accused of opening fire at a Unitarian church, killing two people, left behind a note suggesting that he targeted the congregation out of hatred for its liberal policies, including its acceptance of gays, authorities said Monday. A four-page letter found in Jim D. Adkisson's small SUV indicated he intentionally targeted the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church because, the police chief said, ''he hated the liberal movement'' and was upset with ''liberals in general as well as gays.''
