THE 14-year-old daughter of a pastor is the first victim to be named after a crazed gunman stormed a church during a Sunday service and began firing at will.Tragic Annabelle Pomery was revealed to have been killed by her heartbroken father - who himself was not in the church at the time.First Baptist Church Pastor Frank Pomeroy told ABC that his daughter Annabelle is one of the dead, and paid tribute to "one beautiful girl" and a "special child." Annabelle, whose mother posted tribute photos on Facebook, is among 26 killed in the bloodsoaked massacre that shattered the normal tranquil life in this tiny Texan town on Sunday morning.Police revealed the dead ranged in age from just five all the way up to 72.Former US Airman Devin Kelley has been named as the killer who fired on the tiny church using a semi-automatic rifle while wearing combat gear and a bullet-proof vest.As he fled the church, a brave resident gave chase and engaged him in a shootout, just before he was discovered dead in his car.It is not clear if he shot himself or was taken down by the hero neighbour.According to reports in America, Joann Ward and her six-year-old daughter Brooke are missing, feared dead having been in the service.Her stepson Rylan, four, is fighting for life in hospital having been blasted four times.Two of the victims were killed outside the church and one died on the way to hospital.Authorities say the ages of those killed range from five to 72.Among about 20 injured was a six-year-old boy who was shot four times and was fighting for his life as he underwent emergency surgery.Two officials have identified the suspect in a mass shooting at a Texas church as former serviceman Devin Kelley.They say Kelley lived in a suburb of San Antonio and that he doesn't appear to be linked to organised terrorist groups.Kelley is a former US Air Force member who served from 2010 to 2014.He received a dishonourable discharge and was court-martialled in 2014, CBS News reports.The Pentagon has confirmed the suspect identified in the mass shooting at a Texas church previously served in the Air Force.In a brief statement, the Pentagon says Devin Kelley was an airman "at one point," but additional details about his time in the Air Force were not immediately available.A source at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told ABC News that they are searching for explosives at his home.Church Pastor Frank Pomeroy told ABC that his 14-year-old daughter Annabelle had been killed, describing her as "one very beautiful, special child".Mr Pomeroy said he was in Oklahoma this morning which was a rare weekend that he wasn't at the church.The other victims are all close friends of his, he said.Gov.Greg Abbott says 26 people were killed in the attack on a Texas church and that it was the deadliest mass shooting in the state's history.The gunman began shooting at around 11.30am local time (5.30pm GMT).Six helicopters flew to the scene to take away victims.An eye-witness, who works
