• At least 16 people were shot by a gunman who opened fire just before 10.30am  
• The shooting occurred at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs in Texas 
• A witness said among those who were shot in the attack was a two-year-old child
• Another witness said a man 'in full gear' walked into the church and opened fire
• Victims were transported to a local hospital and it's unclear if any are deceased

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.

Locked doors and trained and armed ushers, even though the odds of such happening at a given church are small, that seems like a reasonable precaution these days.

These are churches, not stinking prisons.

It's not a reasonable precaution. Especially in a small town like that.

We should not cave to fear and lock ourselves away to try to stay safe from nutjobs.

And, yes, I will continue to go to our non-secured against bad guys church and not worry.

My life is in God's hands, not the hands of some demonically possessed individual. They may be able to kill my body but not my spirit and soul. And then I'll be free forever.

If that is him and the information is true, ALL Muslims MUST leave the country.

Breaking News twitter has a picture of him..his facebook shows on October 29th a picture of a gun and it says “She’s a bad bitch” also supposedly AntiFA

[bigdaddy45]

I would say that it should be up the owners (i.e. congregation) of a house of worship to determine whether or not it is free of weapons. This should not be a decision the government should make.

"Texas Church Shooter is in Southerland Springs Identified as Devon Patrick Kelly"

"Church members seemed to have known the perpetrator, whom some call a convert to Islam"

[MayflowerMadam]

This brings back memories of the shooting in the little Amish school about 10 years ago. The guy just killed little kids — all girls, I think.

US Search has a Devin P Kelley, 26, in New Braunfels, a 47-minute drive from Sutherland Springs.

Why is there still no description of the shooter?

[conservative98]

Thanks.

If true, ISIS claiming credit in 3...2...1

5.56mm

The name might be correct but those pictures are not, it seems.

[JGT]

Very interesting. I wonder why his name was connected to the Vegas shooting, which later turned out to be a hoax. He was obviously on the radar for some reason.

[nfldgirl]

What is the common thread you speak of?
Thanks.

WOW! According to the Santa Monica Observer, it claims the “alleged” shooter had converted to islam AND HAS A DIFFERENT NAME, ALSO AN ISLAMIC NAME. MAY BE FALSE NEWS.

I was thinking about Sheep Dogs as I watched the initial reports and crying my eyes and heart out. Even the sheep have a Sheep Dog for protection. We must protect the sheep.

Check out the Sutherland Church's facebook web site, and more specifically check out the names of all the "Likes".

Notice anything odd??  They are all Muslim names.

Devin Patrick Kelley ID’d as Sutherland Springs Church Killer

The Daily Beast
https://www.thedailybeast.com/devin-patrick-kelley-idd-as-sutherland-springs-church-killer

Devin Patrick Kelley has been identified as the gunman who killed at least 24 people at a church in Texas, a U.S. official tells The Daily Beast. Kelley, 26, was a resident of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio, according to public records. On a now-deleted Facebook account, Kelley displayed an assault rifle.

Kelley was married and Kelley’s mother-in-law listed a P.O. box in Sutherland Springs as a mailing address. San Antonio police reportedly raided Kelley’s home on Sunday evening. A LinkedIn account appearing to belong to Kelley describes him as serving in the U.S. Air Force from his 2009 high-school graduation until 2013, after which he briefly taught at a summer Bible school.

Funny, news is only reporting him as ‘white’. Nothing about being a convert to Islam. Naturally. No surprise there.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Found this.. DEVON PATRICK KELLY convert to Islam. May be false news.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Of course they would NEVER report that..remember..Tamerlan Tzarnaev’s wife was also white, born here in the US, converted to Islam
