Ushers say Roeder pointed a gun at them
Gary Hoepner said he was stunned when a man walked into the lobby of Reformation Lutheran Church and shot George Tiller in the head.

"He just walked up, put the gun... boom. Shot him. Point blank. Right in the side of his head,'' Hoepner said.

"In my mind I repeated, 'Oh my God. Oh my God,' several times as George was falling."

Hoepner was the state's first witness Monday during the first full week of testimony in the first-degree murder trial of Scott Roeder, who has publicly confessed to shooting Tiller.

"All of a sudden the guy's going out the door," he said.

"What did you do?" prosecutor Kim Parker asked.

"I chased after him," Hoepner said. "I was probably 20 feet behind him."

When Roeder realized he was being followed, Hoepner said, he turned and told him, "I've got a gun. I'll shoot you."

Hoepner said he stopped.

"He already shot one person," Hoepner testified. "I had no reason to believe he wouldn't shoot me."

Threaten to murder perfectly innocent people after murdering a perfectly innocent doctor. If that isn't symbolic for the radical right position on abortion I don't know what is.
