An outpouring of love and support continues to follow the deadly aftermath of the LDS meetinghouse shooting on Sunday. “That support will continue as long as it is needed,” said Area Seventy Elder Ren S. Johnson. 

A random, deadly shooting during a ward sacrament meeting in Fallon, Nevada, has staggered the tightly-knit farming community.

But the family of slain shooting victim Charles E. "Bert" Miller — along with his fellow ward members and neighbors — are not alone, said the Area Seventy who presides over the western Nevada region.

Elder Ren S. Johnson reported that people of all backgrounds in the community and beyond are offering heartfelt support while simultaneously mourning the July 22 death of Miller, 61, a soft-spoken mechanic and volunteer firefighter.
