A man who attended the mass said parishioners were told to sit down, remain calm and pray for Lee after the incident. He said he did not know what had happened until he saw several police officers arriving and heard the term “assailant” being used.

Later, he spoke to other parishioners who were seated near the front who said the priest stepped back after a commotion and was stabbed near his mouth.
