TX - 26 dead, 20 injured in church shooting, Sutherland Springs, 5 Nov 2017 #1

[MsFacetious]

The deceased range in age 5 to 72.

I believe they didn't clarify these were deceased, just all the victims in general.

Don't deer hunters wear orange so they don't shoot each other?

Only the smart ones.

The neighbor shot him and then followed him. Police never fired. The neighbor or suspect himself killed him.

Don’t mess with Texans! Police can’t possibly get to every shooter in an instant. If the good neighbor had not immediately acted in defense of the people at the church, the shooter would
have continued to kill, I have no doubt about that!

Seriously!! Wow. Can you imagine? That's true bravery and selflessness. I mean he risked his neck to stop this coward. I think I would be hiding in a bedroom under the bed or something, with my family.

Wow. So no police shootout? Wow.

I am struggling with this, as most people must be.

My heart continues to break.

Sending prayers to all loved ones there.

Nope, police found him dead in his vehicle.

Good for the church neighbor who engaged in gunfire. Without him, it's possible this creep would have killed more people.

So, Good Gun Guy killed the Bad Gun Guy. How will the gun control arguments be supported this time?!

That's what I call a community sticking together

It's the law in most states, including Texas.

I am sorry to hear that! I hope that none of your friends or family were injured or killed in the attack!

My family is not in the area but I have friends all over. Still waiting on word of who was there. The shooter was killed by the road to a friends house.

How many people died in the church?

I don't know that anyone is laughing, but I do agree that we look absolutely pathetic in this way!

I heard them say he fired rounds into the church from outside, went around to another side and fired rounds then went into the church. Neighbor confronted him at some point and he dropped the gun and fled in the vehicle. Is that what you heard then say as well?

He shot from one side and then another (doors maybe?) and then the neighbor engaged as he was exiting or leaving the area.

So what I'm hearing is that he was possibly an angry atheist who opened fire on conservative Christians out of....what...hate for them?

Well he taught bible study and seemed to loved guns so I'm pretty sure that wasn't the motive. How about we go back to the basics with these freaks and not try to serve an agenda with our theories about motive? It's typically all the same: Soulless monsters, empty vessels, rage-filled jealous injustice collectors. I don't care what ideology they follow, or where they're from or what they believe motive to be themselves. All these cowards have commonalities. Alienated weirdos who don't fit and feel they deserve more recognition and happiness than they have.

I'm surprised he killed that many people in the church. Nobody was carrying in there? . (Or maybe they were shot before they could respond).

That's what I call massively huge cojones. That guy is a hero.

Hoping the shooter’s family and friends will enlighten us.

I'm hearing he was a Christian and a military veteran who opened fire in a church where he might have known people.

One interview I heard or read from the gas station that is across the way from the church said the shooting lasted about 15 seconds. Not much time to react.
