The death of late-term abortion provider, Dr. George Tiller, garnered headlines from across the country.

On May 31, 2009, Tiller was shot and killed at his church. The gunman, Scott Roeder, fled the scene. He was caught hours after the shooting—as seen in this promo.

An anti-abortion activist, Roeder was convicted of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the shooting. In April 2010, he was sentenced to life without parole for 50 years.

Eyewitness News produced a special half-hour show in dedication to the unraveling story. There were so many layers to what we produced; it was hard to condense our work to a strict minute-and-a-half report.

This promotion was created just a day after the shooting, when we got to walk through what happened on the scene. It’s one of my absolute favorites.
