WICHITA, Kan. The attorney for George Tiller says the late-term abortion provider was shot and killed Sunday at his Wichita church.
Attorney Dan Monnat said Tiller, one of the nation's most visible and strident advocates for abortion rights, was shot as he served as an usher during morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. Monnat said Tiller's wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time of the shooting.
The clinic run by Tiller, 67, has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades.
A protester shot Tiller in both arms in 1993, and his clinic was bombed in 1985.
Capt. Brent Allred said police were looking for a gunman who fled in a 1993 light blue Ford Taurus registered in Merriam.
No other details about the shooting were immediately released.
