Prosecutors have yet to file charges against Scott P. Roeder, the man suspected of shooting and killing abortion doctor George Tiller at a Wichita church Sunday morning. They won’t be filed Monday.

Tiller, serving as an usher at Reformation Lutheran Church, died from a single gunshot wound. Roeder was arrested on I-35 yesterday afternoon. Roeder’s 1993 powder-blue Ford Taurus had a red rose in the back

window, a Jesus fish on the trunk, a sticker reading “The emperor has

no brains” and a Kansas State Wildcats vanity plate.

Here’s what we know today:

Tiller’s clinic is closed. It’ll reopen next week, and Dr. LeRoy Carhart of Bellevue, Nebraska, will take the helm in the interim.

“Harm one of us, it won’t do anything to harm the

movement,” Carhart, head of the Abortion and Contraception Clinic of

Nebraska, told the Omaha World-Herald.

“These killers are not Christians. They’re terrorists,” he said.

“People walking into restaurants with bombs on their backs, how is that

any different than walking into a church and shooting a man down?”

Attorney General Eric Holder has called for increased security for abortion clinics and doctors. Planned Parenthood in JoCo has heeded the call

KMBC Channel 9 reports that two houses — one in Merriam, Kansas, and one in Kansas City, Missouri, have been searched. No word on what was found.
