Police Kill Suspected Shooter After Taking Fire Inside Santa Ana Church

A suspected shooter was killed Sunday after firing at officers inside an Orange County church, Santa Ana police said.

Police responded to a report of a shooting at Merchant Logo Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, located at 1100 S. Center St. in Santa Ana around 4:20 p.m., Cpl. Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department said.

Officers went inside the church and the suspect shot at officers, Bertagna said, but no officers were injured.

A suspect with a handgun was killed, the corporal said.

Video from the scene showed what appeared to be a dead person covered by a sheet outside the church.

Police were investigating whether a second shooter was in the area, Bertagna said.

A voting center in Santa Ana was closed indefinitely due to the criminal investigation, according to a post on the Facebook page of the Orange County Registrar of Voters.
