Two dead and one in critical condition after a gunman opened fire during morning service at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas.

The event was streamed via the churches live internet church service stream (the YouTube has since been removed). The shooter, a man dressed in a black trench coat with a hood, stood up and opened fire on church congregants.

Fortunately, at least five members of the church who were armed responded as soon as the shooting began. Within seconds of the first shot fired being by the gunman, a member of the church shot and killed the shooter preventing more casualties.

Emergency services were dispatched to the Church, at approximately 9:57 a.m Sunday morning, after receiving a call regarding the shooting.

Mike Drivdahl, a spokesman for the Forth Worth Fire Department, stated that three people were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

“A very tragic day when anybody in our community suffers,” he told reporters at a brief news conference. “Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families who are affected by this.”

Drivdahl went on to say that Fort Worth police and fire were on scene assisting White Settlement agencies and that agents with the ATF were also on scene.

This shooting happened just two years after another gunman opened fire inside a Sutherland Springs Texas church in one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.
