FALLON, Nevada (AP) — Local residents held a vigil in northern Nevada to honor and remember a longtime volunteer firefighter who was fatally shot during Sunday services at his LDS church in rural Fallon, Nevada.
The vigil for Charles E. "Bert" Miller, 61, was held Tuesday beginning at 3 p.m. at Laura Mills Park in the town about 60 miles east of Reno.
Miller was killed and his brother, Duane Miller, of Utah, was shot in the leg Sunday afternoon.
Funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m. Friday, with a viewing at 9 a.m., at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fallon.
Duane Miller, a business management and communications professor at Utah Valley University and an adjunct faculty member in Brigham Young University's business management program, was released Monday from a hospital in Fallon after treatment for an ankle wound he suffered in the Sunday shooting.
He was sitting with his brother when they were shot.
Police later arrested 48-year-old John K. O'Connor at a home about a block from the church.
He is being investigated for murder and battery with substantial harm.
Police are in the process of interviewing dozens of witnesses, but still haven't been able to establish any possible motive.
Fallon is 55 miles east of Reno.
