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 churchs YouTube channel.

Hard to be sure but the “good guy with a gun” also appears to be African American. Regardless, this guy is a hero, going directly to the threat and taking care of business. Hopefully the perp is dead.

Armed defender using proper two-handed grip at a target that looks around 30 feet dressed like Emperor Palpatine.

And many churches ban firearms; well at least the one I attend does not - and it’s Messianic Jewish.

Well, I hope more than one shot. The still is a bit deceiving, the distance appears to be about the length of one pew +. I don’t know who that is in the way though. Being down would be better.

They did. I cropped it upthread.
Waiting for the enemedia to complain that posting the picture is akin to, “Bragging.”
Wouldn’t surprise me if that happened, if they even talk about this incident.

Way to go! Armed guards at all churches and synagogues.
Too many nuts out there.
Too much Soros money stirring things up.

People in the pews don’t seem to be doing much to get down or out of the way. Sitting ducks if armed guard isn’t there.

Hard to tell how the gunman got into that position. My thought as well.

We’ll never know- At most- the msm will describe him as a ‘mostly westernized, light skinned, immigrant (or naturalized foreigner)’

or is a ‘hate crime’ if the man is foreigner or minority- and Twitter and FB will likely ban posting the photo there for ‘violating their discrimination policies’ if he are a minority-

One church I went to for a while in the '90s had an annual "Cowboy" day with fun games after church for the kids such as lassoing and so forth.
I know many in the church were armed but on Cowboy Day the ushers wear Western holstered guns with cowboy hats and scarves. The pastor announces at some point it is time to "take" the offering (ominously) as the ushers pull scarves over faces and pass the plate. All in good fun.

I’m hoping I got the correct address while looking up the place on Google maps.
Looks like more than one entrance to the church. Two connected buildings.
