Update on Alabama church shooting:
A 71-year-old man who shot dead two senior citizens and injured another at an Alabama church group's meeting Thursday evening was subdued by someone else at the event until police arrived, authorities said Friday.
The suspect, who police arrested but haven't publicly named, shot dead Walter Rainey, 84, and Sarah Yeager, 75, during a small group's potluck dinner at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills outside Birmingham, police said.
A third gunshot victim -- an 84-year-old woman whose name was not released -- was being treated Friday at a hospital, Vestavia Hills police Capt. Shane Ware said.
The suspect had occasionally attended the church and was at the dinner there when he pulled out a gun and started firing, according to Ware.
