The 59-year-old suspect, Robert Dear, is in custody.

Most of the killing has happened since 2009, when abortion doctor George Tiller was shot dead at church in Wichita, Kansas.

Investigation of Shaolin Abbot partially revealed
Details surrounding an investigation into the abbot of the famed Shaolin Temple in Henan have been revealed, which so far appear to exhonorate him from the allegations made against him.
The Buddhist Associaiton of Henan says Shi Yongxin has the proper qualifications to run the Temple.
At the same time, the Association says all the rules were followed properly when he was elected the head of the famed Temple in late 1996.
Paternity tests taken from Shi Yongxin's two adopted daugthers have also confirmed they are not his biological children.
Authorities say an investigation into his finances and other allegations against him are still underway.
Shi Yongxin, who has been dubbed the "CEO monk" for his moves to commercialize the home of Kung-Fu, has been under investigation after a series of allegations were levelled against him by a former monk at Shaolin.
The accusations made earlier this year have included embezzlement, lying about his true identity and sex with multiple women, which would go against the tenants of being a buddhist monk.
The sexual allegations, which were contained in a police report filed by an unnamed woman, were enough to prompt the investigation.
