Protesters fail to show at Louisiana shooting victims' funerals

Members of a Kansas-based fundamentalist Christian church who threatened to stage protests at the funerals of two women fatally shot in a Louisiana movie theater failed to show up on Monday, according to local news reports and social media.

The funeral for Mayci Breaux, a 21-year-old student, occurred quietly and with no protests at the Church of the Assumption in her hometown of Franklin, according to Twitter messages posted by a reporter for WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Breaux was studying at a Louisiana college to become an ultrasound and radiology technician.
