Globe: Church pastor was among murder victims

Kernal Rehobson, pastor of the Micronesian group that used the First Congregational Church in Neosho for Sunday afternoon services, was among the murder victims, the Joplin Globe reports:

Kernal Rehobson, 44, of Goodman, was leading an afternoon service for a congregation of predominantly Micronesian worshippers that uses the First Congregational Church in downtown Neosho, when the gunman burst into the church.

According to Newton County Coroner Mark Bridges, Rehobson was shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. The identities of the two other victims, both male Micronesians, were not released, because next of kin had not been notified.
