WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas – The gunman who was fatally shot after opening fire inside a North Texas church was reportedly a man from nearby River Oaks.
FOX 4 sources identified him as 43-year-old Keith Kinnunen.
Court records from Tarrant County show he was arrested in 2009 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and again in 2013 for theft of property. He had several run-ins with the law in Arizona and was arrested in River Oaks in 2015 for unpaid parking tickets.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton spoke with reporters Monday morning across the street from the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement.
The FBI and other law enforcement officials still have not determined a motive for the deadly shooting. Paxton said it will be a difficult task since the shooter is dead, adding they would need a written statement from the gunman beforehand.
The city’s police chief said the gunman entered the church at about 10:50 a.m. Sunday and sat down with the congregation. He got up from his seat while members were receiving communion, pulled out a shotgun and fired it.
