Multiple people shot at White Settlement, Texas church
Developing situation. Subject with a shotgun shot multiple people, apparently the shooting was captured on the live stream of the church service. Shooter was taken out by an armed member of the congregation. Don’t know if it was a random person or part of a church security team. Details still developing

“Local media are reporting that a witness said the incident happened during communion, and that the gunman reportedly had a shotgun and was taken down by another armed church member.”

Was this church a gun free zone? How in the hell do we have a congregation of unarmed people, in what I consider a higher threat environment.
Why is the shooter still breathing? Why are Americans asleep at the wheel?
The reports are saying the the gunman was taken out by an armed member of the congregation. Since in these situations the bad guys get a vote and have the element of surprise people will more than likely be shot before someone can effectively respond. Reaction time is a thing.Originally Posted by Guinnessman

The report linked says the shooter was taken down by an armed church member, and also stated the critically wounded transported to the hospital did not include the shooter.
I don’t want to make an assumption, but that does not read to me that it was a gun-free zone, nor that the shooter is likely still available for prosecution.
TX churches are not gun free unless specific conforming signage is posted. Many of them in TX have security teams. I have a good friend involved in such. One problem is getting the 'security team' up to some standards and train. Not that I discourage carry.
Didn't click the link did ya?
CNN said the defender was a retired Federal agent. However, too early to know for real.

There is video of the shooting online. The shooter gets off 3 rounds with his shotgun before he is dropped hard (about 4-6 seconds between him initially producing the weapon and pointing it at someone and him being dropped). Many people were carrying handguns but the fight was over before most of them could produce a weapon.
