Man shot inside Ogden church during domestic dispute

Source: Salt Lake Tribune

Ogden police were trying to determine why a 35-year-old North Ogden man walked into a Catholic church during Sunday mass and shot his father-in-law in the back of the head. The suspect then fled and stole a car from a nearby stranger at gunpoint.

Charles Richard Jennings Jr., 35, was captured several hours later walking along Interstate 84 in Box Elder County after the vehicle he stole ran out of gas as he apparently attempted to flee to Idaho.

Ogden police Lt. Danielle Croyle said Jennings’ father-in-law and his family were attending Sunday morning services at St. James the Just Catholic Church, 495 N. Harrison Blvd., just before noon when Jennings walked into the church, pulled out a gun and shot the man in the back of the head.

Croyle said Jennings then fled.
