Man accused of killing Arizona pastor included El Paso on his list of future targets: Report
PHOENIX, Arizona (KVIA) -- Our news partners ABC15 in Phoenix are reporting that the man accused of killing an Arizona pastor included El Paso on his list of places he planned to kill more religious leaders.
Adam Sheafe, 51, is accused of killing "Pastor Bill" Schonemann. ABC15 spoke with Sheafe through a jail-issued electronic device last week. Sheafe explained that he believed pastors and priests were leading Christians astray. ABC15 reports Sheafe believes "that Christianity is wrong and that the Bible should only be the Old Testament."
