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.

An atheist bible studies teacher. Sounds like a conflict of worldviews to me.
Shows also that fanatics are pieces of shit, and you should tell them to lol calm down or gtfo. Seriously, anyone who preaches fanatically about something, be it Jesus, Evil Immigrants, Allah, Godzilla or the new Capsule Coffee Maker they bought, goes on my shitlist. Which pretty much means I block them on facetube or whatever social media platform.
Oh great, another autistic moron with a Guy Fawkes mask. Every teenager and Antifag puts those on for something lame, no exceptions. I like that movie but damn it autists are ruining it for me.
Whenever people point to Australia's gun laws as an example of what America needs to adopt to stop killings, I counter with the much better example of the Brazilian disaster. Politically, demographically, historically, geographically, and culturally, the USA has MUCH more in common with that New World republic, than it does to the UK commonwealth nation on the other side of the globe.

For those angered that the left gleefully politicizes this as being about entitled white men and white supremacy and gun control before the bodies are even cold, I feel you.
In this case, though, it seems entirely reasonable that if a person furiously hates a certain group that it probably isn't a coincidence when he shoots a bunch of those very people with no other obvious motivation.
You know, I'm not sure I understand The Onion's "'No way to prevent this,' says only nation where this regularly happens" article that they repost every time a white guy goes on a shooting spree. It's hard to think of a place that doesn't experience acts if violence that claims multiple victims on a fairly consistent basis. Their joke might have been biting and witty if several people getting murdered by psychos WASN'T a thing that happened all over the world every day--but it isn't. And people eat that shit up every time The Onion does it like it's the most clever thing in the world.
So this guy realizes some fuckstick is shooting up the church near him, grabs his gun and sets an ambush outside for the gunman and shoots him 3 times? Outstanding!

We're too safe in the West, too insulated from the natural harshness of life. That's allowed delusional beliefs about life and existence to spread like a virus.

So how are people who are on their twitter accounts asking for "thoughts and prayers" being in your face about it? Like I honestly don't get this hostility.
People fucking died, let them grieve in their own way. It's not about you.
