Fallon, Nev. • A man “willfully and deliberately with premeditation” opened fire during services last Sunday at a Mormon church in Nevada, killing one man and wounding the victim’s brother, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday, although authorities have yet to determine a motive.
Connor, 48, is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 61-year-old Charles E. “Bert” Miller, a longtime volunteer firefighter in rural Fallon, Nev., and with battery with a deadly weapon in the shooting of Miller’s 64-year-old brother.
The Lahontan Valley News reports O’Connor, dressed in a black-and-white jail jumpsuit, showed no emotion during the appearance in the New River Township Justice Court in Fallon, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of Reno.
