He man was reportedly walking down the main street, carrying three rifles and two pistols, when he encountered congregants outside a church.
A recording of a pastor’s encounter with a heavily armed shooter in front of his small-town church became evidence in a trial that resulted in a hate crime conviction.
On a self-described mission to kill lesbian and gay residents, Howald shot several times into a woman’s home around noon on that Sunday. He was reportedly walking to another residence, carrying three rifles and two pistols, when he encountered congregants outside a church on Basin’s main street, the prosecutors’ account said.
“The recording captured Howald making statements that he might have killed a lesbian and that he hoped he had, and that he was going to get rid of lesbians and gays in Basin,” the federal prosecutors’ news release said. “The recording also captured Howald firing off several more rounds.”
