The suspect involved in a fatal shooting at a Dallas-area church on Sunday was identified by officials as 43-year-old Keith Thomas Kinnunen, it was reported.
Law enforcement sources told local station KXAS Channel 5 that Kinnunen was the shooter. He had a criminal record in Tarrant County, including aggravated assault and theft of property charges.
Kinnunen was fatally shot by an armed member of the churchs security team in an incident that was captured on a church live stream. He burst into the West Freeway Church of Christ at about 10:50 a.m. Sunday morning with a shotgun and opened fire, killing two people, reported the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Video footage showed Kinnunen apparently wearing a hoodie and holding a shotgun.
In 2016, he told police in Linden, New Jersey, that he was homeless and was traveling from Texas to take photos. He was arrested in September of that year when police found him with a shotgun, the paper reported.
The report stated that Kinnunen was also arrested in 2008 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Fort Worth. According to KXAS, he was charged with theft in 2013.
Family members identified the victims as Anton Wallace, a church deacon, and Richard White.

Demon possessed
The gunman was identified as DEAD, it is reported in the news. Rightfully so. Very dead.
So they’ve had enough time to scrub his social media?
Reporters and pundits are very disappointed his middle name wasn’t Kevin.
He burst into the West Freeway Church of Christ
That isnt what I saw on the video.
That’s what I thought. Do reporters even care to get the story remotely correct?
the perfect perp.
They had to so they could pretend we have no clue why...
Perfect setup.
The apparently homeless gunman who killed two worshipers Sunday had been helped with food on several occasions by the West Freeway church, but he became angry when they wouldnt give him money, minister Britt Farmer told me. He wasnt recognized Sunday because he wore disguises, Bobby Ross Jr., the editor of The Christian Chronicle, tweeted.
Trump’s fault because he doesn’t give enough money and housing vouchers to the poor. /s
There was absoultey no bursting.
The article was corrected since the excerpt was posted. It now reads:
“He stood up from the audience in the West Freeway Church of Christ at about 10:50 a.m. Sunday morning...”
[’[The article was corrected since]]
Surprised it wasn’t changed to ‘He Burst to his feet”
So he’s pissed that they didn’t give him money, then he buys a shotgun.
He had money for THAT,
Sounds as if he had plenty of mental issues.
Former wife says he had a long history of assaults with and without firearms.
At least he didn’t use the “they didn’t talk to me” reason...
He wore a fake beard?? Does anyone think that sounds a bit fishy?
