COOPERSBURG, Pa.—Authorities have charged a fellow church member in the death of a woman found shot in a Bucks County church in January.
Prosecutors allege that 65-year-old Mary Jane Fonder, of Kintnersville, shot 42-year-old Rhonda Smith, of Hellertown, out of jealousy.
Smith was found January 23rd with a gunshot wound in Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in rural Springfield Township. She died at St. Luke's Hospital-Fountain Hill.

Bucks County District Attorney Michelle Henry says Fonder had "very strong feelings" for the church pastor. She says the defendant was jealous of the attention the victim was getting from the pastor.
