Phoenix priest murdered, another injured at rectory

One priest is dead and another is in critical condition after a violent altercation at a downtown Phoenix church, according to police.

The victims have been identified as Father Kenneth Walker, 29, and Father Joseph Terra, 56.

Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos said Terra called 911 from Mother of Mercy Mission Catholic Church near 15th Avenue and Van Buren Street at around 9 p.m. Wednesday. Police arrived and found the two priests badly injured in the church's living quarters.

Based on Terra's call, they believe this might have been a botched burglary.
