A Catholic priest died in Kansas after being shot at his church’s rectory in an incident a fellow pastor said has left his parish in a "state of shock."

Arul Carasala, the India-born priest who was pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church at Seneca in Nemaha County, was shot and killed April 3.

Authorities have not released a possible motive for the shooting or said whether the suspect and the priest knew each other.
