    Praying for all involved. Sadly churches are one place where if legal you need to carry.

    Sad news. :( Not much info to go on yet, so wonder how this will play out.

    On a semi-related note, I'm surprised there's actually a town called "White Settlement". Obviously the SJW's hadn't heard of it yet. Wonder it this will bring unwanted attention from them now.

    I honestly thought I was reading an article from The Onion. I thought, "there's no way that there is a city called White Settlement." :):

    A live stream of the worship service shows a person wearing a large coat stand up and then pull out what appears to be a rifle or a shotgun as communion was finishing. The shooter appears to fire twice before another person appears to shoot back.
    Many people in the congregation ducked under church pews while others rushed toward the shooter, holding up handguns, the video shows.
    A church leader starts telling people to quiet down and be seated.
    "Everything is under control. Our security team did everything they needed to do," the person said.
    He urged everyone to stay calm and file out of the sanctuary. He said one church member was harmed.

    Note - "others" - plural. God bless Texas.

    So from the info we have now, it looks like it would have been a lot more people shot/killed if there were no armed good guy/gals there to react.
    I'm sure the media will give huge props to them for doing this.

    From a twitter post.

    Replying to @HowertonNews
    ...he fires twice before a church member pulls out a gun and shoots the gunman.

    Multiple members hold the shooter at gunpoint until police arrive...

    Since it doesn't fit the narrative this story will disappear like a fart in the wind.
