Gunman loose at landmark Crystal Cathedral in Southern
California
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) - A SWAT team has surrounded
Southern California's Crystal Cathedral after a gunman opened
fire inside. No one is hurt.
Garden Grove police say children in a church day-care
center are safe.
Police Lieutenant Mike Hanfield told K-C-B-S T-V officers
had made telephone contact with the man, but were unclear whether
he was in the cathedral or a separate building. A cathedral
spokesman says the shooting apparently took place one level below
the cathedral's main auditorium, the choir's staging area.
Hanfield described the man as "distraught, disgruntled" and
says he may have been a temporary employee.
The shots were fired just before five p-m, two hours before
the cathedral's annual "Glory of Christmas" holiday show was to
begin.
The huge glass-and-steel structure is near Disneyland.
