absolutely sickening.
there has been another massacre.
this time,
it happened at a church in sutherland springs, texas...
A gunman opened fire inside the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs Sunday, killing and injuring multiple people, authorities said.
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that more than 20 people were killed in the shooting. The official, who was briefed on the investigation, was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The official said between 10 to 15 people were also injured but stressed the investigation was early and the figures could change. Authorities were still trying to determine a motive.
A law enforcement official confirmed the gunman is deceased. He was shot after a car chase with police. It’s unclear if he shot himself or if he was shot by police, CBS News’ senior investigative producer Pat Milton reports.
Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt told the Wilson County News earlier that a man entered the church and opened fire. He said there were multiple casualties and fatalities. CBS affiliate KENS confirmed at the scene that there have been “multiple casualties and fatalities” including children.
The Connally Memorial Medical Center told CBS News it received multiple victims related to the shooting.
Video from KENS showed first responders at the scene, located about 30 miles southeast of San Antonio.
The daughter of the church’s pastor was one of the victim’s killed in the shooting, her mother Sherri Pomeroy told CBS News via text message.
“My husband and I were ironically out of town in two different states. We lost our 14-year-old daughter today and many friends,” Pomeroy said Sunday.
She added, “Neither of us have made it back into town yet to personally see the devastation. I am at the Charlotte airport trying to get home as soon as I can.”
like,
i have no words to truly express my anger and sadness.

everyday is a risk when leaving your crib.

Does anybody know if this is a black church? I want to say it is, based on how news reports are identifying the race of the shooter.
These people do not worship the same God as us. You have never heard of a black person shooting up a white church, or a white person shooting up another white congregation. For that matter, if the two races worshipped the same, there wouldn’t be any difference between the races worshipping the same God. This is the epitome of spiritual wickedness in high places. Prayers for all of the souls and possibilities lost in today’s terrorist attack.
Then you was definitely sleeping under the rock. Dylan Roof (a white cisgendered male) killed about nine black people in South Carolina two years ago to incite a race war and Emanuel Kidega Samson shot up a white church which happened about two months ago this year in Tennessee. I think you forgot about that. You’re welcome!
So I really want to say something about this but I won’t say much…as I been saying for the past few posts. Continue to stay tuned. There’s more mishaps on the way. Hope those spare posts are ready. We still have a few holidays before the year is over. Turkey Day, Black Friday (which not a holiday but still), X-mas and New Year’s. 🤔🙂
^i feel like i want to stay in the crib because this is getting too wild out here
