Texas Church Shooting Leaves 26 Dead

At least 26 people were killed and 20 others injured in a mass shooting inside a church in Sutherland Springs, in the US state of Texas.
The shooting took place on Sunday at the First Baptist Church in Wilson County during the 11:00 am (17:00 GMT) service, officials told reporters.
Officials later told reporters that the suspected gunman was found in neighbouring Guadalupe County dead in his vehicle, but it was not yet clear whether he was killed or died from a self-inflicted wound.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott told reporters that at least 26 people had died. Those who were killed ranged in age from five to 72 years old, officials said.

Authorities said the suspected shooter entered the church just after 11:20 am local time (17:20 GMT) and opened fire. He then fled the church after a local resident used his own rifle to engage with the assailant. He was then pursued by police until he crashed his vehicle and was later found dead.
