      A family is in mourning after what's believed to be a targeted attack at a church event.

      Gordon Parmenter was at the Church of Christ when a gunman murdered him this morning.

      A second man was seriously injured and is in hospital.

      RCMP later arrested a 25-year-old man.

      Parmenter's son David told the Salmon Arm Observer that the man who is in custody is "well known" to the family.

      An RCMP officer told the paper that he didn't believe the attack was religiously motivated.

      Parmenter was an elder at the church.
