Officials with MedStar confirmed the shooter was among the dead. Author: WFAA Staff Published: 11:40 AM CST December 29, 2019 Updated: 3:40 PM CST December 29, 2019 This is a breaking story and will be continuously updated.
Two people were killed and one was critically injured in a shooting Sunday morning at a White Settlement church.
Fort Worth police received reports of an active threat around 11:20 a.m. at West Freeway Church of Christ at 1900 South Las Vegas Trail in White Settlement, which is near Fort Worth.
MedStar officials confirmed at least two people were killed and one person was transported in critical condition.
CPR was performed on both of those killed in the shooting. Both died at the hospital, MedStar officials said. The third person went into cardiac arrest while being taken to the hospital, but paramedics were able to successfully revive that person.
One of those killed was the suspected shooter, MedStar officials told WFAA.
A live stream of the worship service shows a person wearing a large coat stand up and then pull out what appears to be a rifle or a shotgun as communion was finishing. The shooter appears to fire twice before another person appears to shoot back.
The shooting lasted about six seconds, video of the live stream shows.
Many people in the congregation ducked under church pews while others rushed toward the shooter, holding up handguns, the video shows.
A church leader starts telling people to quiet down and be seated.
"Everything is under control. Our security team did everything they needed to do," the person said.
He urged everyone to stay calm and file out of the sanctuary. He said one church member was harmed.
"We had a gentleman that came in armed to do harm," the church leader says.
In the chaos after the shooting, church members can be heard screaming and crying.
One person yells, "I love you."

It would be nice for Trump to use this case against the Left. It would TOTALLY trigger them. (no pun intended)
A person carries a deadly weapon with the idea that he/she would never do harm with it should the necessity arise? Come on, use the grey matter between your ears.
Our church “security personnel” don’t look like security either. They are trained, well co-ordinated plainclothes volunteers.
One of the dead is apparently the murderous attacker so that at least is good
“The video has since been removed from YouTube.”
Now....can’t let the general public know a legally armed citizen took out the bad guy.
The city got its name because it was the lone village of white pioneers amid several Native American encampments in the Fort Worth area in the Texas Republic territory in the 1840s.
It can be seen elsewhere on the net. See recent thread.
