Three people were shot at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, on Sunday, Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman Mike Drivdahl said.

Police got a call just before 10 a.m. about people with gunshot wounds at the church in White Settlement, a suburb just west of Fort Worth, Drivdahl said.

Hard to say from the picture, but one can surmise that the first shooter is the person in the long black garb at the top center. Looks like he has a shotgun of some sort and is pointing it at parishioners. The second shooter at the left appears to be directly targeting the first shooter. I’d say he’s a defender and likely the hero in this scenario. Prayers to all the poor innocent folks trying to avoid the mayhem.

The following is just my understanding:

Nope. Guy on the top left is armed security who ended the incident. The perp is the guy on the top right with the shotgun. Short version — good guy with a gun (the guy on the top left) stopped a bad guy with a gun. Of course the actions of the good guy will not be covered by the lamestream media...

The church has armed members serve as volunteer security. A lot of churches are doing this now.

“Isn’t it the shooter in the top LEFT?”

I beleive the man in the top left is the security guard that took perp down

I saw that, too. Wouldn’t be surprised, though.
She looks like she’s safely to the right of the defender’s rounds.

Just read 2 dead, one of them is the perp- thank God for the man with the handgun taking him out.

Praying for all the victims.

The ‘man of lawlessness’ in a sense is being unleashed it seems- Religious institutions are being attacked right around Christmas, it’s like the demons are having a field day and are incensed about Christ and those who follow Him during the Christmas holiday now- Anti-Semetism is ramping up- Anti-Christianity too- and even Anti-Conservative too- All things that the children of Satan hate- The ‘man of lawlessness’ is bearing his fangs it seems

I wonder why the shooter went around to the side, instead of up the center aisle? So everyone would be in front of him? Strange garb - looks like Darth Vader or something out of a movie.

The man in the top left appears to be cop or hired one with a pistol and is aiming at the creep in the far upper right with shotgun and dressed a black outfit.

From the other thread:

Mr. Tinius said there were multiple trained people on the security team.

The church had their own armed defenders.
