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.

We’ll have to wait and see if this was a disgruntled member or an outsider.

A witness told CBS 11 News the gunman shot someone with a shotgun during communion and that he was then taken down by another church member.

We'll never hear about this one again.

Sounds like the latest is that gunman shot two, then was shot by either himself or someone else at the church.

Because a gun was involved in this case, the stabbings in Monsey, NY will likely suddenly fade away. Guns, knives, suicide vests, etc. hatred is hatred.

Shotgun, eh? This story disappears tomorrow. Needs to be an “assault rifle” to receive long-lasting breathless coverage from our mainstream media.

Video still shows armed church member shooting the bad guy. The media s going to have a hard time with this one. They are probably trying to coordinate their spin with daddy Soros right now.

Church member. Video shows it. Quick reaction, mass killing stopped in the tracks. No armed church members, we would be looking at another Sutherland Springs.

Looks like uniformed armed security or LEO from what I can see.

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

Thank you, defender!

PING to Dean.

Definitely assigned to carry either way. Hard to tell how the gunman got into that position. Maybe the side door wasn’t locked or something.

From the article: WFAA-TV’s Whitley reported that “Church security (armed members) subdued [the suspect].”

It was an armed church member. Police weren’t even called at that point. Good guy was on scene in the moment and ended the threat.

Looks like a head shot was the only shot too.
