The suspect who stabbed a Catholic priest to death in a small Nebraska community has been identified.
Kierre L. Williams, 43, of Sioux County, Iowa was arrested for killing Rev. Stephen Gutgsell, 65, during an invasion at the rectory of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Fort Calhoun.
Williams was charged with homicide and use of a weapon to commit a felony, the Washington County Sheriff said.
Gutgsell was taken to an Omaha hospital where he died from his stab injuries, church officials said.
The suspect was taken to Washington County Jail and the sheriff's office said that the investigation is ongoing.
Gutgsell, 65, placed a call to 911 around 5am, in which he told police that someone was attempting to break into the rectory.
Cops found Gutgsell injured and an alleged attacker inside and it is unclear what William's motive was for killing Gutgsell.
'He is not from the area. He is not from Fort Calhoun or even Nebraska as far as we know about.'
The statement from the local church said: 'The Washington County Sheriff's Office is investigating, and there are no further details at this time.

Who is taking bets on the Over/Under on previously molested?
Some people on here will be overjoyed at the news.
My first thought
Not in this case. A robbery for $$$.
lol, sad but funny.
Begone Satan!
From the looks of the guy he has never stepped foot in church a day in his life.
This article names the race of the murderer.
We joke about the Amish but in the True Crime section at Barnes and Noble yesterday I saw two different books about Amish criminal sprees.
I still say they put something “special” in the hay those horses eat to make them fly past the squad cars pulling those buggies.
Yea most likely $$$ for drugs too
Another worthless oxygen thief kills a decent human being, and the rest of us have to pay to keep this fecal pile in jail with three square meals and room and board.
Assume priest was innocent until proven guilty.
No possible way to know this but if guilty it would be yet another case of quietly moving the bad priests around until the heat is off and lack of justice within the judicial system leading people to take up the slack-——at their own personal sacrifice when they get caught.
this is exactly why I sleep in a hammock with a loaded .45
Now I looked at Gateway Pundit and it says:
“Father Gutgsell pleaded guilty in 2007 to embezzlement from a previous church he was assigned to. After probation and paying restitution, he was eventually transferred to another church.
Police do not believe his murder is related to his past crime.”

I was making up my post about maybe he was quietly shifted from place to place.
It’s almost always one of these savages, isn’t it.
Let me guess...multiple previous arrests, prior prison time, outstanding warrant(s), record of violent behavior, recently released after arrest.
