Gun horror at church

A MASKED gunman opened fire at a Nashville church yesterday, walking silently down the aisle as he shot unsuspecting congregants.

At least one person was killed and seven others wounded, authorities said.

An usher confronted the shooter, who apparently shot himself in the struggle before he was arrested, police said.

The FBI said it had opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ.

No motive was immediately determined.
