ELLICOTT CITY, Md. - The Episcopal Diocese of Maryland is offering forgiveness and a funeral service for a homeless man who killed himself after fatally shooting an Ellicott City priest and church secretary last week.

Church officials said Wednesday that the family of Douglas Franklin Jones hasn't decided whether to accept offers from several parishes to hold a Christian burial service for the man responsible for the bloodshed at St. Peter's last Thursday.

As an atheist, this is something I can agree with. Very respectful.

Does he deserve it? Probably not, but theyre doing it anyway. The man probably had a mental issue, still doesnt take away from the lost lives.
