Federal authorities are responding to a shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, a small community southeast of San Antonio.
In a press conference Sunday night, an official from the Texas Department of Public Safety described the scene: Around 11:20 am, the suspect, dressed in black, approached the church and began firing an assault rifle. He then entered the church and continued firing.
Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed that at least 26 people were killed. A Texas Department of Public Safety official said the ages of the victims ranged from 5 to 72 years old. The AP reports that the pastor's 14-year-old daughter is among the dead.
The Department of Public Safety confirmed to NPR that at least 20 others were wounded. A DPS official said in the press conference that the gunman was confronted by an armed civilian outside of the church.
The shooter, who was found dead in neighboring Guadalupe County, has been identified as Devin Kelley, 26, a former Air Force member.

Do you require a citation that the sky is blue?
How many truck, acid, and knife attacks did you hear about weekly in Europe before the refugee migration? Or were you born yesterday, and so you haven't ever known a Europe that was free of terrorist bombings and the like?

why have high school kids in europe been arrested for riding their bikes up to people they dont like and throwing acid on them and pedaling away? in regards to gangs and girl problems?
One 15 year old kid even said it is a lot easier and less stressful than actually knifing or fighting, just throw a cup of acid and run away. they won't be able to chase you. the only real fear is to get caught.
they arent even trying to get guns
you may be correct in that this was an imported behavior, but like all culture, people appropriate what works for them. and this helps them cause harm more effectively than the old way, of getting in a fight and possibly getting hurt during it as well as arrested. throwing acid has proven to be very effective in causing the most harm to a specific target--and being able to get away with it.
