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.

They are all Muslim names.

If you click on the different links you can see the Facebook page, with the “likes”, and the names along with photos of the people that like it. You will notice they are all Muslim.

How would a paper in California know those details about a shooter in Texas so quickly and be the only source to report it?

sounds fishy to me.

Us as well. This is horrific. Any pastor who sluffs off security measures in their church is complicit. I refuse to be a sitting duck regardless of where I am. I’m a chick and over the years have been subject to various “policies” that addressed guns at work. I ignored them all because not one of those policies kept me safe. How would my work know I’m carrying unless they frisk me? That’s was not gonna happen or they’d find themselves on the bad end of a lawsuit. Churches are the same. They’d better address security or want ch their congregations leave.

Maybe that’s the plan.....

This brings back memories of the shooting in the little Amish school about 10 years ago. The guy just killed little kids — all girls, I think.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

West Nickel Mines School - gunman took hostages (adults & boys told to leave) and shot eight out of ten girls (aged 6–13), killing five, before committing suicide in the schoolhouse.

Is the antifa just a unsourced rumor? It seems a very methodical and calculated, disciplined attack. I guess I think of them as spineless cowards.

This guy think he could get away with it or was it a suicidal plan all along?

They claim that about every shooter. Fake News and they always use the name “Samir Al-Hajeed” Search on the name with “Mandalay Bay”.

They hold sheepdog seminars for just this type of event to prevent it. Very informative, there are people watching over the flock while they’re in church

Was he thought to be connected to Vegas, or just the hoax Muslim name?
