The shooting at the Lakewood megachurch underscored the ease of bringing weapons into sanctuaries in a state with few limits on gun possession, as well as a growing effort by some churches to provide armed security.

The verdict came in a first-of-its-kind trial to determine whether Jennifer Crumbley had any responsibility in the deaths of 4 students shot by her son in 2021.

The victim and her friends pulled into his long, curving driveway near the Vermont border while they were trying to find another house. He shot them as they were leaving.

The woman, who was holding her infant son, was killed by her 14-year-old brother, who was then shot by his 15-year-old brother. Both boys were in possession of guns.

The suspected shooter also was found dead at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus.
