St. Stanislaus
priest found in fire died from gunshot wound
The Rev. William
Gulas, 69, pastor of St. Stanislaus Church, died of a single
gunshot wound to the chest on Saturday, the county coroner
said. His death has been ruled a homicide.
"Father Gulas
was very well liked in the community and he had a number of
friends, so this is really a mystery," said Celeste
Glasgow, the mayor's spokeswoman.
At a press
conference Sunday called by Mayor Jane Campbell, police said
they still are investigating a motive and do not have any
suspects.
A preliminary
investigation shows Gulas had been shot and suffered a blow to
the top of his head before the fire, said Dr. Elizabeth Balraj,
the Cuyahoga County coroner.
Gulas was found in a
first-floor office, Assistant Fire Chief Edward Whatley
said.
New runway opens
at Hopkins
The new runway, the first major expansion of the airfield
in more than 50 years, will officially open slightly under its
$129 million budget. By Saturday, the 1.3-mile concrete strip
is expected to be in full use, allowing about 10 more takeoffs
and landings an hour.
Within two years, a new radar system and a 2,000-foot
addition to the new runway will allow the airport to
accommodate up to 120 takeoffs and landings per hour - 50
percent more than it can handle today.
