According to The Associated Press, the two priests who became victims of the Phoenix church attack lived at the Mother of Mercy Mission near the state Capitol. Terra is now hospitalized and is currently in critical condition with unspecified wounds, but is able to talk, said Parishioner Bill Haley who visited Terra in the hospital. Haley said, "He said nothing evil about the person who did this, expressed no ill will."
Haley added of Terra, "He truly is a father, and he loves his parishioners deeply. He would care for both our spiritual as well as our physical good." While Terra was the loving father, Walker was the "young priest full of energy". He was said to have loved baseball and the outdoors. He would allegedly learn the names of each new parishioner and would even visit some for dinners at their homes, cited Haley.
Phoenix church attack is a tragic and ironic as the two victims previously believed that the church was a safe place to live in.
