Reply #200: AP: Church Gunman Said Upset Over Sermon

[Mark E. Smith]

BROOKFIELD, Wis - The man who fatally shot seven people during a quiet church service before turning the gun on himself was on the verge of losing his job and upset over a sermon he heard two weeks ago, investigators said Sunday.

Terry Ratzmann, 44, left no suicide note and gave no explanation for the killings during Saturday's weekly meeting at a suburban Milwaukee hotel. It is unclear what specifically upset him, but ratzmann was a member of the Living Church of God, a denomination whose leader recently prophesied that end times are near.
