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.

“..reported through sources by The New York Times and CBS News; the latter gave his name as Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, and said the Air Force court martial occurred only three years ago.”

[SkyPilot]

I also didn't post any info about anyone. Was your post (saying people should be ashamed of themselves) even meant for me? If so, why? I posted two prayer posts with Scripture, and asked another Freeper a question.

Texas church shooter Identified as Devin Patrick Kelley who allegedly taught a Bible Study class at a nearby church in 2013?!

Whoa. Taking out the competition?

What gives?

My initial thought was more Islamic jihadism, but probably not if this guy taught a Bible class.

[Enlightened1]

Here is a picture of him before and after conversion.  Check out the Islamic beard.

 

[Sarah Barracuda]

He taught children but had no problem going in a church today and KILLING children

[Enlightened1]

Word is that he converted to Islam and grew a beard.

See post #367

What does Chris Ward have to do with the shooting? His name was Devin Patrick Kelley.

[palmer]

How would a paper in California know those details about a shooter in Texas so quickly and be the only source to report it

They were taken in by a hoax.

Hoax name: Samir Al-Hajeed.

“My theory is that all the political hate you see everywhere is inclining the mentally ill to act out violently. “

agreed. cnn/msnbc and the social media are all pretty much hate 24x7x365. the leftist social media is particularly vile and despicable.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Looking at those photos, the guy with the beard, does that match the one on the left with NO beard

[ForYourChildren]

CBS News reports:
Suspect is fmr. US Air Force E1
(2010-2014)
He received a dishonorable discharge
He was court martialed in May 2014 https://t.co/I2IYB1Ih9D

He converted to Islam. His converted name is Samir Al-Hajeed.

[Gideon7]

‘Sam Hyde’ hoax from the LV shooting.

[palmer]

If the guy in the picture has the same name as the Vegas hoax, then it’s probably also a hoax.

[Reily]

I think the Arabic name has been proven to be wrong.

[corlorde]

Samir Al-Hajeed is a fake news name, made up during the Las Vegas shooting.
