CRIME: TWO MORMON MISSIONARY YOUTH ...

... shot in Virgina: one dead, one wounded.

A Mormon missionary going door-to-door was fatally shot Monday night and a fellow missionary was wounded by an assailant who fled, police said. The attacks happened just after 6 p.m. when a man approached the 21- and 19-year-olds, shot them and ran away, police said.

This is no good if related to some form of anti-Mormonism. Pray for the boy who survived, and that the perp is caught.
