Man shot in the back after being baptized in Honolulu church

Updated 12:13 pm, Sunday, May 15, 2016

HONOLULU (AP) — A man shot in the back after being baptized inside a Honolulu church is in stable condition, authorities said.

Paramedics treated 60-year-old Tali Talitonu for a gunshot wound to the back at the Samoa-Tokelau Seventh-day Adventist Church on Saturday, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports (http://bit.ly/1XsF7vG).

The victim's nephew, Taleni Asuega, said up to 100 people, including many children, were spilling out into the courtyard when a woman pulled out a gun and shot Talitonu once in the back, near his right shoulder.

A church elder grabbed the shooter's gun hand, pointing the weapon away from the victim and the crowd, and disarmed her, Asuega said.
