With the gunman still at large, numerous area school districts canceled classes for Monday.

“As this continues, it becomes more stressful for the community, it becomes more stressful for the officers that are there because we’re looking ... and we’re trying to find him, and we haven’t found him,” he said. Authorities initially said nine vehicles were struck by gunfire, but later increased that number to 12, saying some people did not realize their cars had been hit by bullets until they arrived home. They said the gunman fired a total of 20 to 30 rounds.
On Sunday, several local churches canceled services. But Rodney Goodlett, pastor of Faith Assembly of God in London, was helping direct traffic as parishioners gathered for a morning service. He expected the search would hold down attendance.Thank you for your past contribution to HuffPost.
