Tennessee church shooting suspect due in court Monday
Criminal Law
The man accused of fatally shooting one person and wounding six others at a Tennessee church is slated for a court appearance.
A preliminary hearing for 25-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson is scheduled for Monday morning in front of a Davidson County general sessions judge.
Samson is charged with murder in the Sept. 24 slaying of a woman at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Nashville. Additional charges are expected. He's being held without bond.
An arrest affidavit says Samson waived his rights and told police he arrived armed and fired at Burnette.
Police haven't determined a motive.
