Texas Church Shooting: One Killed Before Gunman Shot Dead By Churchgoer by CaptainMeks: 12:08am On Dec 30, 2019 |
A gunman opened fire in a church in Texas, killing one parishioner and wounding another before being shot dead by members of the congregation. The gunman stood up from a pew at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, pulled out a shotgun, a begun shooting. Police said they were still trying to determine the attacker's motives. White Settlement Police Chief JP Bevering praised "the heroic actions" of those who confronted the attacker. The shooting took place at about 11:50 (17:50 GMT), during the morning service. The service was being live-streamed on social media. Video footage showed the gunman stand up from a pew and speak to a man nearby, who gestured at another parishioner. The gunman then fired at the man he gestured toward. The gunman fired again, at the man he had spoken to, before a member of the congregation returned fire with a handgun, immediately felling the attacker. Several other parishioners also produced handguns and trained them on the attacker. It was not clear from the video footage whether any of the other armed parishioners fired shots. The shooting happened during the morning service at West Freeway Church of Christ US sees highest number of mass killings on record Members of the congregation in the nearly full church ducked down behind pews as screaming filled the room. Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the shooting "an evil act of violence". "Places of worship are meant to be sacred, and I am grateful for the church members who acted quickly to take down the shooter and help prevent further loss of life," he said in a statement. Witness Isabel Arreola told local broadcaster CBS DFW: "It was the most scariest thing. You feel like your life is flashing before you. I was so worried about my little one." Texas has seen a number of deadly shootings this year. In August, 22 people died and 24 were wounded at a Walmart store in El Paso. The same month a gunman killed seven and wounded 20 at Odessa-Midland. In 2017, 26 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, during a Sunday service. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50942664?ocid=socialflow_twitter 5 Likes

USA lied in their propaganda that Christians were being targeted by Muslims in Nigeria but just today here is an attack against Christians in USA and it is not the first. Mass shootings in USA has become a daily occurrence yet same USA claims Africa is not safe. Records show that USA has the highest number of mass killings but it is Nigeria or Africa that is not safe. Okay o It is high time Africa countries began issuing travel warnings to her citizens against going to USA 317 Likes 37 Shares |

When this is over, the man who brought a handgun to church should go for psychiatric evaluation. He might be the next shooter 70 Likes 4 Shares |

Nobody knows where the next mass shooting is going to take place in USA. Today it happened in a church. In August it happened in a Walmart store in El Paso where 22 people were shot dead but it is Africa that is not safe. They should continue with their propaganda targeted at demarketing Africa and let gullible Africans keep on buying into their lies. 169 Likes 19 Shares |

jaytee01: Am i the government? I only gave my own factual advice. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. They say we are not Safe because of reasons they concocted. We can also say they are not safe based on the facts we see especially the current mass shooting epidermic ongoing in USA which can happen anywhere and anytime without prior warning 130 Likes 13 Shares |
