Two people are dead, including the shooter, after a shooting at a church in Tarrant County Sunday morning.
The shooting occurred just before 10:50 a.m., at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement.
Authorities say there were multiple victims. One person was killed in the shooting, and another is in critical condition, according to MedStar.
The shooter was killed after church members returned fire, according to White Settlement Police Chief JP Bevering.
A spokesperson with MedStar said the person in critical condition didn’t have a heartbeat at one point, but was revived and remains in critical condition.
“Unfortunately, this country has seen so many of these, that we’ve actually gotten used to it,” DPS Regional Director Jeff Williams said. “I would like to point out that we have a couple of heroic parishioners who stopped short of, just anything that you could even imagine, and saved countless lives.”
Two others received minor injuries, and were treated at the scene.
The victims range in age from 30 to 60 years old.
The ATF has responded to the scene to assist.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted a statement, saying, “Our hearts go out to the victims families of those killed in the evil act of violence…”
