Jurors on Thursday sided with prosecutors who said Dale Holloway, 41, was sane when he walked up to a wedding and shot the bride and a bishop. Guests stopped him.

“What he wanted to do is kill,” prosecutor John Harding III said in a New Hampshire courtroom on Thursday, according to The Associated Press. “That’s why he had a gun, a loaded gun.”

Holloway was convicted Tuesday of attempted murder for shooting Bishop Stanley Choate. Though he was acquitted of trying to kill the bride, Claire McMullen, he was found guilty of other charges, including first-degree assault.

The October 2019 shooting at New England Pentecostal Ministries in Pelham followed almost two weeks after Brandon Castiglione shot and killed Holloway’s stepfather, Luis Garcia, 60. In August, a judge sentenced Castiglione to 42 years to life in prison for second-degree murder.
