At least 26 worshippers, including a five-year-old and a pregnant woman, were killed when a gunman opened fire inside a small church in a quiet Texas town on Sunday. America's latest mass shooting happened during a Sunday service at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a community of 400 people about 30 miles southeast of San Antonio. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said 26 people died, with the victims ranging in age from 5 to 72 years old. The gunman was dressed all in black tactical gear with a ballistic vest and had an assault rifle, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Freeman Martin said. He said the gunman arrived at a gas station across from the church at around 11:20 a. m.He crossed the street and started firing a Ruger AR rifle at the church, and continued after entering the building. As he left, he was confronted by an armed resident who chased him.Ashort time later, the suspect was found dead in his vehicle at the county line, Martin said. There were several weapons inside.Martin said it's unclear if the attacker died of a self-inflected wound or if he was shot by the resident who confronted him. Atotal of 23 victims were found dead in the church, two were found outside the church, and one person died in hospital. No motive was given for what Mr Abbott said was the worst mass shooting in modern Texas history. The gunman was named by US media outlets as Devin Kelley, 26, who lived in San Antonio. Kelley was dishonourably discharged from the Air Force after facing a court martial in 2014, CBS News reported. Among the victims was the teenage daughter of the pastor at the small Texas church. .Pastor Frank Pomeroy said he and his wife Sherri were out of town when the attack happened at the First Baptist Church but their 14-year-old daughter Annabelle was among more than 20 killed. Annabelle “was one very beautiful, special child,” Mr Pomeroy told ABC News.His wife said “many friends” had died. .Nick Uhlig, a 34-year-old church member who didn’t attend on Sunday, said his cousins were at the service and that his family was told at least one of them, a pregnant woman with three children, was among the dead. “We just gathered to bury their grandfather on Thursday,” he said.“This is the only church here. “We have Bible study, men’s Bible study, vacation Bible school.”.US President Donald Trump on Monday condemned what he described as a "horrific shooting". "This act of evil occurred as the victims and their families were in their place of worship. Our hearts are broken," Mr Trump said on a visit to Japan."Americans do what we do best, we pull together," Mr Trump said at the start of a meeting with business leaders. "We stand strong, oh so strong.".He added federal authorities would help Texas in the aftermath of the shooting and that all of America was praying to God. Theresa May, the Prime Minister, tweeted: "Tragic loss of life in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Thoughts and prayers with all those affected by this terrible shooting
