At least 16 people have been shot inside a Texas church after a gunman opened fire during the Sunday morning service.  

The shooting happened at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, where around 50 people usually attend service, according to local reports.  

Witnesses said a man 'in full gear' walked inside the church and opened fire just before 10.30am.

Neighbors in the area said they may have heard the shooter reload multiple times. 

Another witness at the scene said a two-year-old was also shot in the attack.

According to KSAT, there were at least six helicopters called in to transport victims to the hospital. 

It's unclear if anyone was fatally wounded in the attack.

Funny how some major crisis happens every time a major Democrat is in trouble.

Better to keep him in solitary for 20 years and then execute him.

Yes. It is ‘funny’.
If a deliberate coordination, imagine the type of people it would take to orchestrate mass murder of strangers in this way. It would take many different people discussing the plan many different times. Nothing spontaneous about it whatsoever.

From the article:

"Sheriff Joe Tackitt confirmed with KENS 5 that there are 'multiple casualties and fatalities'."

"The shooter was shot dead by local police responding to the area."

"It's unclear if anyone was fatally wounded in the attack."

CNN don’t care about that.
They’re too busy rounding up gun grabbers to interview right now.

Some people believe it is sinful to bbring a weapon into a house God.

The early colonists knew better.

The only news I get on satellite is MSNBC which I usually never watch.

I just checked in and they are mostly discussing Dylan Roof and a shooting in a Black church in Nashville. Also wondering if it is a hate crime.

It is rather odd to me that he wasn’t shot dead almost immediately by a church member, but we don’t have all the facts yet.
