Two people have been killed, and on critically injured after a shooting took place at the West Freeway Church of Christ located in Texas.
MedStar spokeswoman Macara Trusty confirmed that one person died at the scene of the shooting, and one person died en route to a hospital. A third victim was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
The Church of Christ was live-streaming their Sunday services on their YouTube channel, and while the motive remains unclear, a man is seen running in a firing off shots while church-goers ducked under their seats in fear, as reported by the New York Daily News. The video has since been removed from the church’s YouTube channel.

“they teach officers to shoot to kill”
No. LEOs are told and trained to shoot to STOP. Never say shot to kill. Say shot to stop him from being a threat. It he is killed as a result of shooting to stop.... that happens.
Well, if you are suggesting that they are taught to aim for the legs, I disagree. Whatever the semantics are, they are trained to be lethal when they use their weapons.
The first defender who was drawing his gun was shot. His sacrifice may have given the other guy just enough time to draw and take out the bad guy.
“Well, if you are suggesting that they are taught to aim for the legs”
No. Center mass. Largest target and effective in stopping. Center mass... unless one has to take a head shot if that is all that is available.. Two to the body and one to the head. One never know who is wearing body armor these days. Sorry I didn’t make my self clear on my previous post.
Another thread said the defender is a former LEO
**********
One comment I read is that he was a security guard.
The media gets the name before the public does, they always capture the tweets and facebook photos to use in subsequent news stories.
Good point. The name apparently is still pending. Very strange.
Waiting to notify his next of kin?
As if it would be too hard on them if they had to learn of his death in the press?
My gun pals on a private Facebook group said he’s retired FBI.
Liveleak may have it.
The guy with the black coat, black hood - reeks of Antifa to me
“Could be he’s just wearing black.”
Antifa
It’s an assault shotgun! With the dreaded pump action!/s
White Settlement? Obvious white nationalists. The kid in the picture just has a deep tan./s
Still no ID on the bad guy. It’s taking some time.
Might be a new outfit for Anti-fa, or a black version of the KKK?
Judge him by the quality of his shooting, not the color of his skin.
I found the 101 second video on YT and downloaded it minutes before they deleted it and reposted it here:

God bless the souls and families of the innocent victims, and hopefully we can learn from this shooting.

They’re ducking their heads. The guy in the orange shirt seems bored.
Thanks! Now the liberal media can’t delete it.
Must be the acoustics. It sounded like cannon-fire. Don’t think it lasted even a second. The defender’s a regular Matt Dillon.
