At least 26 people have been killed after a gunman opened fire at a church during Sunday services, officials say.
The attack happened at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a small town in Wilson County, Texas.
The gunman, who is reported to have been killed in the aftermath, entered the church and opened fire at around 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT).
Governor Greg Abbott confirmed the death toll and said it was the worst mass shooting in the history of Texas.

Re: Texas church shooting
Gunman was supposedly killed crashing his car during his attempted getaway. Funny how nobody’s using the “T” word (again) because the shooter was a white Texan.

As it stands that’s correct, but nobody had reported on the dude’s beef with his in-laws when I wrote that.
Funny how one of Trump’s first acts was to demolish mental health screens fit gun ownership but now says that this shooting was a case of a person with mental health issues who shouldn’t have had a gun. He can’t even agree with himself.

I'm fairly certain for every tweet he's put out as president, you can find a tweet of his from the past that contradicts him. Or makes him look like an idiot. Which is pretty easy.Mikey wrote:As it stands that’s correct, but nobody had reported on the dude’s beef with his in-laws when I wrote that.
