2nd person dies in TN church shooting


(NECN/ABC) - A second person has died as a result of the church shooting in Tennessee, 61-year-old Linda Kraeger, who passed away several hours later in a hospital.

At the time of the shooting, church members were watching a children's production of "Annie."

Eyewitnesses say one of those killed -- 60-year-old Greg McKendry -- jumped in front of the gunman's bullet to protect other parishioners.

Churchgoers quickly tackled the gunman and held him until police arrived.

There were about 200 people in the church at the time of the shooting.

The shooter, Jim D. Adkisson, is being charged with first degree murder and is held on $1 million bond.
