In another one for the good guys ... a wing-nut is going to prison!
An out-of-work truck driver has pleaded guilty to all charges in the killing of two people and wounding of six others in a Tennessee church.
Fifty-eight-year-old Jim D. Adkisson entered the pleas this morning before Criminal Court Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz in Knoxville.
He had been scheduled to stand trial next month.
After Adkisson entered his plea, the court sentenced him to life in prison without parole.
Police say Adkisson said in a letter that he attacked the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in July 2008 because he hated liberals and gays.
The shooter fired three shotgun blasts into the congregation during a children's musical performance before members wrestled him to the ground.
