SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas - At least 27 people have been killed and 30 people have been injured in a mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

A witness reported seeing the as-yet unidentified man walk into First Baptist Church and began shooting around 11:30 a.m. Sunday.

Wilson County commissioner Albert Gamez Jr. told a CNN reporter that the gunman fled in a vehicle after the shooting and is now dead after a brief pursuit.

Some survivors were taken to Brooke Army Medical Center via medical helicopter. Their conditions are not known.

Thanks for the link. Was not aware AR prohibited that.

Texas does not.

I know several concealed carry permit holders in our church, not sure which actually carry there, but am sure some do.

I hope that the message of Christ doesn’t become entangled with the cries of revenge, hatred and isolation.

“A witness reported seeing the as-yet unidentified man walk into First Baptist Church and began shooting around 11:30 a.m. Sunday.”

Disconcerting that the shooter hasn’t been identified yet.
Protected classes are never quickly identified.
Makes me wonder if it was a black or muzz who did the shooting.
If so we may “never know his motivation”.

Prayers.

Good grief. What’s this world coming to? Every day another atrocity. No just throwing a meme out there but truly this is a result of having Obama leading our country for 8 long years. He hates America and has roused the scum into carrying out his goal to destroy America and kill Christians.

The Romans used lions, slavery and the sword and it didn’t stop the Word from spreading.

37 percent for Trump! That’s about what it was for the Patriots in 1776 too.
