>> stop killing babies. >> their approach was to wear him down and to peck at him from every angle. >> find out where the child killer lives. find out where his wife has her hair down. >> from harassing him personally at his home to harassing the staff and patients coming in. >> he was a vile despicable human being. >> out there somewhere is one soul who is listening to all of this and wants to be the person that rights the wrong. >> if someone did not stop him, they were going to continue to die. the babies were going to continue to die. >> he thought he was the redeemer. >> the day this event happened was a beautiful day. service started with music being played. >> jeanie tiller was singing

with the choir. his name was printed in the bulletin. >> i looked at my watch and seen it was a couple of minutes before 10:00. there was a pastry table and i made my way over to the table, just george and i. i was facing toward the sanctuary. george had his back to the doors. i noticed somebody coming up to the table. i looked, just as i looked up, i seen scott roader put a gun up to the side of george's head and fired one shot. >> i heard a pop or report just like a fire cracker. there was a considerable amount of evidence of bleeding that was occurring. i did start a resuscitation on dr. tiller in an effort to see if we could get response. >> just seconds after shooting

dr. george tiller in the head, scott roader turns and runs out of church. he is pursued by two men, keith martin and gary heckner. >> i just followed him out the door. he was running through the grass. he turned around and yelled over his shoulder, i've got a gun and i'll shoot you. i just froze. >> roader kept running. keith martin took a different direction out. the guy points a gun at him and says get out of my way. i'll kill you too. roader was driving out. they were next to each other. he threw a cup of coffee at him. roader then left. >> around 1:30 in the afternoon, johnson county deputies take it upon themselves to watch interstate 35, which is the main road that comes into kansas city, and we're watching for the

tag that we broadcast. >> they pulled him over. >> step out of vehicle, and face away from me. >> they get him out of car. put his hands behind his back to lay down. they go down there. they cuff him, and he's in custody. >> reporter: it's no mystery who pulled the trigger, but authorities work to track down any known associates of roader's to learn whether others were involved. >> we had talked to his ex-employers, we talked to friends. we talked to members of his bible studies. we talked to his family. he did this very secretive. >> reporter: three days after the shooting, scott meets with his defense team. >> we told scott please don't talk to anyone about this. he thought that the issue was bigger than him. people needed to know about the horrors of abortion. slowly, but sure he he leaked everything out and said

everything he had done and why he did it. >> he fired one shot into dr. tiller. >> reporter: he's charged with first-degree murder. he and his lawyers devise a defense strategy based on his feelings of abortion. >> the defendant's belief was he was justified in shooting dr. tiller because it was imminent that he was going to do abortions the next day and he was protecting the lives of the unborn by killing the killer before he committed the act. then he testified. i've been trying cases on both sides for 20 years. it was a surreal experience knowing i'm going to put my client up. >> why did you kill him? >> the lives of those children were in imminent danger. he was going to continue as he

had done for 36 years prior to that time. if someone did not stop him, they were going to continue to die, the babies were going to continue to die. >> i was just furious. then i realized pretty soon that scott is a rather dull guy. he doesn't seem like he's the brightest light in the string. he was reacting to an atmosphere of hatred. >> to me he's just a tool. the climate was such that he could do this act. if the climate had not been like that, if everyone had been doing their job, he would not have killed dr. tiller. do you need a lamp to see? and does it leave your bedmate be? don't you wish there was a light that wouldn't keep them up all night?

if you can't put up with the heat from society, don't get into it. it's not an advocation. it's a mission. >> for nearly 40 years, dr. george tiller operated a medical facility that specialized not only in abortions, but those that occurred in the later months of pregnancy. controversy never ceased to swirl around his clinic for the doctors and staff who worked alongside him, taking a position there was always much more than just a job. >> i think this work is not just work. it's not the kind of thing, this is just my job, so i'm going to go 9:00 to 5:00.

trimester patients into two groups. fetal indications and maternal indications. there was something very, very wrong with the baby with the fetal indications. >> the other group was abortions that were being done for maternal indications. many of them were suicidal. some of them were just ridiculously young like 11 or 12 or 13. this group of young women had to meet with a second doctor who had to agree that this pregnancy represented a threat to their health. >> the biggest challenge was not the work itself but the challenges were really outside the clinic. >> we started the presence at tiller's gate with the intention of shutting down the tiller abortion facility. that was the ultimate goal.

>> we would show up at the abortion clinic long before it would open and began placing a series of christian crosses along the public easement in the grass. we would park the truth truck with the pictures of aborting children right across from his driveway. shortly after that the patients would arrive. >> it was a long quiet ride into wichita. we had been warned there are picketers and protesters out front. >> there was a guy that came every wednesday and he would climb up on the table with a megaphone and look over our fence and scream through at the people who came in. you in the lincoln, you have enough money to support a baby. why are you killing your baby? >> don't kill your baby. we'll help you. >> we'll give you a baby blanket and send you to the welfare office. >> if you can just break down that initiate retistance and

at one time he had chosen a much more conventional path. >> i met scott on december 29th, 1981. >> say something clever. >> something clever. >> he wasn't romantic but he was very sweet and very kind. we just hit it off. there was something that clicked. >> there's this one time at our wedding our heads are back and we're just laughing. we were just really happy. the trouble started, it was the summer before nick turned three. we weren't just making ends meet. one day he had one of those ah-ha moments. >> can you tell the jury what led up to your conversion, if you will? >> i had been watching the 700 club regularly, a christian program. i was alone in my living room. that day i kneeled down and i did accept christ as my savior.

is short lived. he's immediately notified of another impending investigation. this time by the top medical authority in the state, the kansas board of healing arts on the contact same charges. >> why? because one of the operation rescue people lodged a complaint on the same charges. he didn't have time to enjoy the fact that he had finally won. then another blow. it was just never going to end. >> although this is a positive development for operation rescue, it was of little comfort to scott roeder who is distraught by the acquittal. the court ruling is the last straw. >> the legislature tried and they weren't successful. the grand juries weren't successful. he was acquitted by a jury. somebody had to stop him, and that somebody is going to be me. >> by this point in the spring

of 2009, scott roeder is living apart from his ex-wife and teenage son. he shares an apartment with roommates and spends most of his time devoting scripture. >> there's a bible group that he would go to. those individuals, during that time, would talk about a variety of things. he also, during those conversations, talked about dr. tiller. someone must take action and end tiller's life. at that time i think roeder began really formulating a plan to end the life of dr. tiller. >> and he finally started to recognize that the only point that he could find him where he would be unaware is at his church. scott roeder started to make trips down to wichita.

he could attend services. >> we thought he was interested in joining our church. >> i couldn't help notice he was never apart of the service. he was not worshipping in our church. it bothered me to thepoint that i followed him out and saw the car he got into and wrote his license tag number at that point. >> he was not accepted by the congregation, did not fit in. there was never an indication he was there to hurt dr. tiller. >> on sunday, may 24th, scott roeder travels the 200 miles from his home to wichita. he visits with full intent to kill dr. tiller. >> were you armed that day? >> yes. >> what were you armed with? >> i believe it was a, it was the taurus. >> dr. tiller is not at church that day, so scott roeder returns to kansas city. five days later roeder calls his

and then he sees dr. tiller leave by the side door. he got up, and he followed dr. tiller directly out the side door. >> they walk out the door, and there is dr. tiller. >> yes. >> he was right in front of you. >> yes. >> and you took your gun, and you took it out -- had it out of your pocket. it was in your hand, is that right? >> yes. >> did it appear he was aware that you were there? >> i don't think he was aware. >> so you caught him unaware. >> i believe so. >> then you took that steel gun and you put it at his forehead. is that right? >> yes. >> and when it made contact with his head, you pulled the trigger. >> yes. >> and do you feel you have successfully completed your mission? >> he's been stopped. >> 911. >> somebody just came in and shot him in our church. >> somebody shot someone? >> yes, dr. tiller. dr. george tiller was just shot.

>> that morning, dr. tiller's staff passes the tragic news to each other by phone. >> i called joanne first. of course, she was devastated. >> kathy said they shot doctor. i remember specifically kathy said they. that's exactly how we thought of it, they. we knew exactly who they were. >> then i called the doctor and heard her screaming in my ears. oh, no. oh, no. you're kidding. you're kidding. >> i don't think i've ever experienced that kind of grief. it seemed so wrong. so wrong that someone who was so incredible, so amazing could be killed. for what? >> during the murder investigation, authorities discover a piece of evidence in scott roeder's car that connects

him to operation rescue. when questioned, operation rescue president troy newman denies any ties to roeder. >> one of our cards was found on the dash board of scott roeder's car. it was the contact information that was the information line. it was the number people called to find out when the prayer vigils were, when the rallies were. that phone rang nonstop it was published on the internet. we're not suspects in this case. >> nearly six months later on january 2, 2010, the jury delivers their verdict on scott roeder. it takes only 35 minutes to reach a decision. >> we, the jury, find the defendant scott roeder guilty of the crime of first-degree murder. >>sentenced to 50 years without parole. >> scott, you regret what you did? >> no, i don't. >> do you know if dr. tiller's clinic is still open? >> i've been told it is shut

down. >> how do you feel about that? >> a sense of relief, actually. >> the family made the choice to close the clinic. >> there used to be three clinics in wichita. now there are none. so patients have to go to either kansas city, which is 200 miles away, or denver, which is about 500 miles away. >> what are these women going to do who are getting bad news this week? where are they going to go? what in they're scheduled to see dr. tiller and now they can't go? i can't imagine being in that situation. >> if they don't get help from me, they're going to be sticking pencils into their cervix or throwing their baby in a dumpster or discarding their baby in a plastic bag on the side of the road. we're doing a legal, desperately needed service. >> for those who worked and supported dr. tiller, a raw anger remains.
