FALLON, Nev. (AP) — Police in the northern Nevada city of Fallon were trying to determine Monday why a 48-year-old man opened fire on his Mormon church on Sunday, killing one man and injuring another.

Fallon Police Chief Kevin Gehman said it does not appear that 48-year-old gunman John Kelley O'Connor was targeting the church but instead was focused on an individual victim.

Charles E. "Bert" Miller, 61, was killed after O'Connor walked up to him and shot him, according to Miller's daughter.

Authorities have not released the name of a second man who was shot in the leg and treated at a hospital.
