A pastor was shot dead
by his brother at an Ohio church on Sunday, police said. Daniel Schooler, 68, is
accused of gunning down Pastor William Schooler, 70, inside the office of St.
Peters Missionary Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio.
The pastor "was
the intended and only target" in the shooting, Dayton Police Homicide
Division Supervisor Sgt. Richard Blommel said. No one else was shot or injured,
Blommel said.
The shooting happened
while the choir was singing, witnesses told CNN affiliate WDTN. About
20 people were inside the church at the time, the CNN affiliate reported.
Daniel Schooler is
being held at the Montgomery County Jail without bail, according to jail records. Charges against him are expected
to be announced Monday, police said. It was not immediately clear whether he
had obtained legal representation.
Investigators haven't
yet identified a motive in the shooting.
William Schooler, a
former teacher, principal and school board member, had been serving as
president of the Dayton Baptist Ministers Union, WHIO said.
