Developing story - more to come
At least 27 people have been killed and 27 injured in a Texas church shooting today, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The alleged shooter is dead, and it appears there is no longer an active threat at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, about 40 miles southeast of San Antonio, police told ABC News affiliate KSAT in San Antonio on Sunday afternoon.
The church's pastor, Frank Pomeroy, told ABC his 14yr-old daughter is among the dead. He added she "was one very beautiful, special child."

A person who said she works at a gas station across the street from the church told ABC News she heard rapid gunfire at around 11:15 a.m., leading congregants from the church as well as customers at the station to run inside for cover.
“We heard several shots and we all started running inside the store,” she said.
“It lasted about 15 seconds. I yelled, ‘Get down! Get inside!’ and we all went into hiding,” said the woman, who said she is 49 but declined to give her name.
She said the gas station locked its doors. "We have not reopened,” she said.
She then that within minutes of the gunfire, emergency personnel had arrived at the scene.
“There were officers that were checking the wounded in here were asking them questions,” she said.
Connally Memorial Center in nearby Floresville told ABC News it has received six people from the shooting.
The FBI and ATF are heading to the scene, ABC News has learned.
Outside the church, police have formed a perimeter and flooded the grounds with emergency and police vehicles, according to KSAT.
A small group of people were seen standing together, holding hands as tears overtook an attempt to pray, a KSAT reporter said.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement, "The thoughts and prayers of all Texans are with the people of Sutherland Springs as tragic reports come out of First Baptist Church."
"Please join Angela and me as we pray for those impacted by this horrific shooting,” Paxton said.
Just after 3 p.m. Sunday, President Trump tweeted that he is monitoring Texas church shooting from Japan.
The killer has been identified as Devin Patrick Kelley. He was apparently an atheist and was dishonorably discharged from the military due to woman beating and breaking his stepson's skull.
That Ed guy has been spotted in the salt mines. We suspect he’s a robot, since all of his responses are stand alone statements. I think most people approach a conversation with one talking point instead of 10. His account exists so people can pick and choose which e-Pickett sign they like the most, and retweet it.
How is it people don't realize that crazies wanting to do damage are gonna find a way to get guns illegally. And if they can't they'll find a pressure cooker, or a truck or even knifes. Gun control will never fix anything.
It takes a special kind of cunt to shoot up a church (or other place of worship, for that matter). It's a place full of defenseless people who are joyfully gathering to praise God. You may as well shoot up or bomb a hospital.
It sounds like it took place in a small community too, which is even worse because you just know most people in town will be personally affected by this. I pray that they can heal from this.

The problem with the neckbeard hypothesis is I doubt any of the ones who actually own guns go out and shoot them and their uncoordinated waddling into the church would leave the victims plenty of time to flee. If it's a meme gun like a KRISS or something then I take it all back.
This is honestly one of the few things I hate about the UK. The anti-Americanism here is seriously pervasive — nearly everyone looks down on the States as the home of crazed religious morons.
The only way gun control would ever work in the U.S. if you took a systematic decades long process overhauling the law and culture around it and you’d have to control the majority of the federal and state legislature for that time to even have a chance and that’s leaving out the Central and South America problem.
