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.

Everything I've seen from that bunch has stated that Nov. 4th is the "beginning", implying that their little war or whatever is on a continuing basis from that date forward until the "Trump/Pence Regime" is "gone". Am certainly hoping that is all just a bunch of background noise, but if the killer is some kind of leftist "Resistance"/Antifa-type kook, all bets are off.

Add domestic violence, that is the word on social media anyway...people saying he shot his own family first. There are even names out there but who knows, might not be accurate.

Yup. My church does not know I carry when I attend. They don’t need to. Not their business and I don’t expect them to protect my family. Security is everyone’s business but the element of surprise is good too.

Satan is alive and well on Planet Earth.

Yes he is, unfortunately.

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

You have a wolf running things. Run off the wolf or leave.

[[So horrible..to kill a 14 year old child..sick absolutely sickening]]

Yes, it is horrendous. Many prayers for the victims and their friends and families.

Mother Teresa explained this situation well but how many listened to her?

“If a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me - there is nothing between.” ~Mother Teresa

Could POTUS issue a State of Emergency and shut down Planned Parenthood?

They kill thousands every week! And the reach of same, damages so many more...

“Other tweets are denying this”

...and the congressman (Gonzales) from that district has stated that to his knowledge the shooter was from outside the area.

The shooter was shot dead by local police responding to the area

Good. At least TX police know how to deal with that kind of situation.

It’s highly irresponsible for anyone to post photos or info when positive ID has not been released.

This guy’s aunt (yes, the one in the photo) was on FB a while ago saying that she is with him at the hospital trying to find out if his wife and children are alive.

If so, he’s a victim, not the perp, and certain FReepers should be ashamed.

From cbs miami after jfk files released

http://miami.cbslocal.com/2017/10/27/jfk-files-cia-plotted-kill-castro-stage-bombings-miami/

****
During Operation Mongoose in 1960, the CIA also considered staging terror events in Miami and blaming it on pro-Castro Cubans.

“We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of a Cuban agent and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.”

Also a person opens himself up to possible legal liabilities if they finger the wrong guy as the perp.
