The sheriff said that a shooter killed multiple people today at a Baptist Chirch in San Antonio, Texas. He also stated that the gunman was taken down.

Hope the deaths are minimal seams like we're on a downer in hope and faith that incidents like these would stop all together or at least not happen very often. I hope for the victims and their families.

UPDATE: A sheriff says a man walked into a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and started shooting, leaving multiple people dead.

The Wilson County News reports that Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt said the shooter has been taken down. It wasn't immediately known how many people were killed and wounded or who carried out the attack.

First responders converged on the church in the small town southeast of San Antonio and helicopters are taking victims to hospitals.

Sutherland Springs is a community of about 400 people 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of San Antonio.

The continued attack on the Christian faith in the USA. They go to Church to become closer to God, and they are instead the victims of evil. May God have mercy on them all.

I seem to recall that the last shooting in a church was a racist attack rather than an attack on Christians. But I'm sure you know exactly what the intentions of this shooter were.

Damn more violence, sad

I predict a sermon on mental health and the need to address it.

Literally no reason to change the statement if that's the case.

They're still considered Christian in the same way Catholics and Orthodox consider each other Christian.

The FBI and Texas Rangers have secured the area around the church and are investigating.
