'Mass shooting' reported at Sutherland Springs church in Texas
Several people were reportedly shot and killed on Sunday after a “mass shooting” at a Texas church, police said.
The shooting was reported at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, which is about 30 miles southeast of San Antonio. A witness told KSAT that a man walked into the church about 11:30 a.m. Sunday and opened fire at the crowd of people. The church holds morning worship services at 11 a.m., according to its website.
Constable Thomas Silvas from Precinct 1 in Wilson County confirmed to Fox News there was a "mass shooting" situation and that officials were working on removing the bodies from the church, but did not specify the number of people who were dead or wounded.
Silvas did not provide further details on the incident.
"We have accepted a number of patients from the shooting," Megan Posey, a spokeswoman for Connally Memorial Medical Center in Floresville, 15 miles from church, told Fox News. She said she did not have a specific number. She said doctors were assessing the patients.
Helicopters and emergency personnel were seen arriving at the scene.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted shortly after the incident was reported: “Our prayers are with all who were harmed by this evil act. Our thanks to law enforcement for their response. More details from DPS soon.”
Fox News' Robert Gearty contributed to this report. From FOX News

It felt weird at first carrying in church, but I believe they will be specifically targeted like this one was in the (apparently not too distant) future. Sad that liberals can't see the error of their thinking, since it's never a conservative doing this kind of thing.

69 miles from the ranch here.
Been through there several times. Sure not an area I would have thought this would happen.

What could possibly be a reason to go to a church and shoot anyone, let alone that many. The only consolation is that the shooter's soul will burn in Hell for eternity.

I guess we have an answer to the CCW in church debate now.
MSM is running rampant with speculation and gun control cat calls now... Almost like they knew it would happen.

What could possibly be a reason to go anywhere and shoot anyone?
And since there is no answer, that is the reason we all should be allowed to be armed at all times in all places.

Man there's lots of Evil running around as of late.. I guess we have an answer to the CCW in church debate now.
No debate here. So many people were interested, the instructor came to the church and taught 2 full classes..

From what I'm gathering, the suspect tried to escape when police showed up, and a pursuit was taking place, but didn't go far. Shooter was killed. Unknown where by his own hand or police.
