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.

One of the SA stations said his mother in law had a po box in town. Perhaps it was her church.

We should not cave to fear and lock ourselves away to try to stay safe from nutjobs.

It's not a matter of fear, but a matter of taking reasonable precautions. Most gatherings of people these days have some sort of security provided, whether by the police or private security. Churches could have security that would be practically unnoticeable unless it were needed some day.

“At approximately 11:20 this morning a suspect was seen at a Valero gas station in Sutherland Springs, Texas,” Martin said. “He was dressed in all black. That suspect crossed the street to the church, exited his vehicle and began firing at the church.”

“That suspect then moved to the right side of the church and then continued to fire,” he continued. “That suspect entered the church and continued to fire. As he exited the church, a local resident grabbed his rifle and engaged that suspect. The suspect dropped his rifle, which was a Ruger AR assault-type rifle and fled from the church.”

Being that he was dressed in an all black outfit does fit a couple of scenarios.

The Air Force has a lot to answer for here. They kicked him out in 2014 with a Bad Conduct Discharge and only gave him a year in jail for domestic violence against his wife AND CHILD. Sorry to say, the military is following the same trend as civilian courts by going light on people’s sentences. This guy should’ve been in jail.

LE may ignore that bunch but if this keeps up, I doubt many patriotic Americans will for long.

Why did he pick out a country church with a small congregation?

His wife, Danielle Shields, whom he was court-martialed for beating, used to teach at that same church.

Correction: It was his ex-wife whom he beat up, not Shields.

Foxnews.com has a convoluted quote about the dead killer, currently experiencing Hell, which states, “Investigators said Kelley didn’t appear to be connected to any organized terrorist groups.”

It doesn’t tell us much. The eternally damned, from organized terrorist groups encourage solo attackers, and as been mentioned they take credit for “recent converts” heinous actions after the fact.

The article doesn’t even mention the fact that this was the weekend for massive antifa demonstrations. There may or may not be a connection. It seems the reporting tries to suppress these points and in my cynical view I sometimes wonder if it isn’t for future ratings potential, you know, “if it bleeds it leads.” In which case, they also have a future appointment in Hell.
