Memorial for cathedral victims, death toll rises to 5
SAO PAULO (AP) — Close to 1,000 people attended a memorial service Wednesday for the people gunned down inside a cathedral in southeastern Brazil, and authorities said the toll of dead had risen to five.
Investigators said they were still trying to determine what led 49-year-old Euler Fernando Grandolpho to attack worshippers after Tuesday's midday service at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Campinas.
After taking a bullet in the ribs in a firefight with police Grandolpho shot himself in the head, authorities said.
Somber, teary-eyed faithful sat quietly as Monsignor Rafael Capelato said, "Through prayers and solidarity we are supporting each other in this time of suffering."
