Police said a man walked into Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church's sanctuary and fired a 12-gauge shotgun about 10:15 a.m. Church members subdued him, and officers were questioning him Sunday afternoon, Police Chief Sterling Owen said. The suspect's identity was not released, but Owen said he is believed to be a Knoxville resident. Investigators were checking whether he has a criminal history, and they had no information indicating he had been to the church before, Owen said. The man opened fire during a children's production of the musical "Annie," church members said. About 200 people in the church were watching the production, which was being put on by 25 children, The Associated Press reported.
