27+ shot at a small Baptist church. Multiple fatalities. FFS, why aren’t people a) carrying in church and b) posting security guards?
KENS5 reports police took down the gunman at the Baptist church in Sutherland Springs after he shot and killed multiple people.
No word on who is responsible, but sounds more like something personal than jihad.
UPDATE: 26 dead, ~20 wounded.
UPDATE: No, this attack will not support the gun control narrative. Quite the contrary:
Today’s mass shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, was only halted after an armed Texan “engaged” the killer and put an end to the rampage, the Texas Rangers reported.
Freeman Martin, a major in the Texas Rangers and a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, says the suspect dropped his rifle and fled after being confronted by a local man who had grabbed his rifle.Freeman provided a timeline of the tragedy in a press briefing Sunday evening.
“At approximately 11:20 this morning a suspect was seen at a Valero gas station in Sutherland Springs, Texas,” Martin said. “He was dressed in all black. That suspect crossed the street to the church, exited his vehicle and began firing at the church.”
“That suspect then moved to the right side of the church and then continued to fire,” he continued. “That suspect entered the church and continued to fire. As he exited the church, a local resident grabbed his rifle and engaged that suspect. The suspect dropped his rifle, which was a Ruger AR assault-type rifle and fled from the church.”
