2:33 PM Jeff Reece: The region's Bishop and other Episcopal clergy are converging on the school to provide chaplaincy and counseling services if they are needed, said the Rev. Kurt Dunkle, rector at Grace Episcopal Church in Orange Park. "One of the great gifts of being part of a larger church, which we call a diocese, is that when you need your colleagues, they show up," Dunkle said. ... Dunkle said he was in a meeting with the Right Rev. Samuel Johnson Howard when they got word of the shootings today. Howard is the spiritual leader of the Jacksonville-based Episcopal Diocese of Florida. "The first thing he did was way 'we have to be there,'" Dunkle said.
3:12PM Jeff Reece: A high placed police source has just confirmed that the victim was [Headmaster] Dale Regan. The shooter was a Spanish teacher fired this morning.
