At least 16 people have been shot inside a Texas church after a gunman opened fire during the Sunday morning service.  

The shooting happened at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, where around 50 people usually attend service, according to local reports.  

Witnesses said a man 'in full gear' walked inside the church and opened fire just before 10.30am.

Neighbors in the area said they may have heard the shooter reload multiple times. 

Another witness at the scene said a two-year-old was also shot in the attack.

According to KSAT, there were at least six helicopters called in to transport victims to the hospital. 

It's unclear if anyone was fatally wounded in the attack.

It is a suburb of San Antonio, that might have something to do with it.

“May the piece of $hit who did this be slammed in jail and executed within a week.”.

Shooting 16 people in a crowded area cannot be that hard even if every single person is carrying.Unless those carrying are alert and looking out for other gunmen chances of a carrying bystander PREVENTING is just absurd.

According to witnesses, the shooter reloaded multiple times.

Yet another situation where "just one gun could've stopped the madman in his tracks". And in Texas, no less.

It’s not a suburb. It’s a small town out in Wilson county well outside of the crap in San Antonio.

“They don’t have “mass-shootings” over there. Not due to any particular defense against them, but simply because their society does not produce the type of people who would WANT to murder their fellow Poles.”

Poland 70 years ago was quite different. Humans are evil to the core. All humans are. Mass killing doesn’t surprise me. Nor does it make me question anything more. Evilness is in our DNA. Many CHOOSE not to be violent and cause evil on others. Some choose to be violent and cause evil. The only thing we can do is punish AFTER the fact. Or recognize their uncontrollable behavior from childhood and lock them up. There is nothing we can do to avoid this. I repeat, all humans are evil.

The shooter was Chris Ward. Yes, he's white like it matters. Killed his family first then killed 27 at the church. #SutherlandSprings

For some reason, my first thought was this was going to be domestic related.

Yeah that is the story right now, if its true(Still taking it with a grain of salt) if he killed his family elsewhere then came to the church or his family was IN the church at the time

27 dead and 24 wounded, looks like 100%.

it’s only 35 miles, about the same distance from Fort Worth to Dallas.

It is a suburb, okay with larger front and back yards, but a suburb still.

Why? Why do you automatically assume people in church are armed?
