WICHITA | The woman who shot and wounded George Tiller in 1993 has said the abortion provider “needed to be killed for the sake of justice,” her first public statement on the case that comes as abortion activists from across the nation prepare to converge on Kansas for the trial of his confessed killer.

Jury selection proceeded behind closed doors Tuesday for the first-degree murder trial of Scott Roeder, who has publicly admitted killing Tiller on May 31 while the doctor known for providing late-term abortions was serving as a church usher. The 51-year-old from Kansas City also faces two counts of aggravated assault for allegedly threatening two ushers who tried to stop him after the shooting.

Roeder had reportedly visited Shelley Shannon when she was jailed in Topeka for shooting Tiller.

Shannon, who is serving time in Minnesota for a series of clinic arsons, sent the message about Tiller Sunday through the prison e-mail system’s Web page to abortion activist Dave Leach in Iowa. The e-mail, obtained by The Associated Press, claimed Tiller killed “preborn babies” throughout the whole nine months of pregnancy and broke Kansas laws but always got away with it without going to jail.

1. I wish I could do something.

Anything, to make a difference. To heighten awareness of the truth. I am so frustrated.
