No place in America is safe. No place.
At least 27 dead, dozens injured in Texas church massacre
New York Post, Nov 5 2017 2:13 PM
At least 27 people were killed and two dozen more injured when a gunman opened fire inside a crowded Texas church today. The unidentified shooter walked into the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs just before noon and began firing. One of the shot victims is a 2-year-old child. Wilson County Commissioner Albert Gamez, Jr. said the death toll is at 27 — and expected to climb. "My heart is broken," he said. "We never think where it can happen, and it does happen. It doesn’t matter where you’re at. In a small community, real quiet and everything, look what can happen."
The gunman, believed to be a local resident, fled in a vehicle but cops caught up with him after a short chase, according to Gamez, who said it was unclear whether cops killed the gunman or he turned the weapon on himself. The church regularly posts its weekly services to its Youtube page, and investigators are now searching for video that could shed more light on what happened. "Our prayers are with all who were harmed by this evil act," Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted on Twitter. "Our thanks to law enforcement for their response."
The town — population about 400 — is roughly 30 miles southwest of San Antonio. The violence comes just a month after the US’s worst-ever mass shooting — when madman Stephen Paddock opened fire on an outdoor Las Vegas concert on October 1, killing 58 and injuring hundreds.
