Suspect shoots and kills 2 inside a Texas church before parishioners fatally shoot him
A man shot and killed two people during a church service in White Settlement, Texas, on Sunday before two members of the church security team shot and killed him, authorities said.
City Police Chief J.P. Bevering said it appeared the shooter walked into West Freeway Church of Christ and sat down in the sanctuary, then stood, pulled out a shotgun and shot two parishioners.
"There was a security team inside the church and they eliminated the threat," Bevering said.
Bevering praised the churchgoers who returned fire and killed the suspect as "heroic" and said there is no ongoing threat.
