    And, it's sounding more like this was a personal squabble with one or two individuals, not necessarily intended as a "mass shooting". Still getting more info.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      obviously you have no idea what damage a shotgun can do. And they come in semi-automatic too. A Semi-auto shotgun can do a heck of a lot more damage than an AR-15.

        One round of double o buck can take out three or four people in close proximity.

            I'm a carrying member of my church's "Safety Team". (Apparently our insurance rates are significantly affected if we have a "Security Team"). Our team lead is former military and a Texas Weapons License instructor. He owns his own shooting range and has us come practice regularly...and assesses our shooting abilities. We have quarterly "practices" where we go over strategy in different scenarios...etc.

            I've been hunting for years and have actually killed a deer with my .40 cal S&W. I hope to never need to use it like this but, we are prepared in case it's needed we do. I"m glad they were prepared as this could have been much worse.

                They heard a pop and all drew out their weapons. I guess being in Texas, the entire store carrying is normal for you though.

                  If this were your typical mass shooting, it would be scrutinized to the point we'd know the entire history of the shooter by now. It would be nice to know the back story of this guy, who he was, why he did it, if he knew folks inside were armed or not? The last question is something I'd be exceptionally interested in. But I get the feeling this story will be buried in the MSM soon for obvious reasons.

                    Rare? There are accounts all the time in the news where homeowners and innocent victims with firearms were able to protect themselves and others. And sometimes save the courts a few dollars.

                      I think CP meant that whatever you posted isn't showing up except as a little white box. That's all I see anyway.

                          The Gungrabbing narrative starts here with someone tries to make this a reason to grab guns by not telling the whole truth
                          Rep. Veronica Escobar @RepEscobar
                          Another tragic deadly shooting in Texas. In a church. Where congregants had guns.

                          My prayers & condolences go to the White Settlement community members who have to endure this awful pain.

                          ⁦@GovAbbott⁩ and ⁦@senatemajldr
                          ⁩ - when will you act?
                          What Rep Veronica Escobar didn't to tell you is that the evil man with the shot gun who was shooting at the congregations was not a congregant it was one of the people who were part of congregation that stopped him with the gun they have a right to hold. The governor and senate majority leader did act they allowed churches to letting people in their congregation carry. just because she doesn't think law abiding citizens should have guns to protect themselves doesn't mean she is right about our Rights to carry guns

                              But, because they're successful, they don't make the nightly news.

                                If he wasn't a regular attendee, he probably figured folks in a church would be a good target because he thought they'd be unarmed. From all the sources I've looked at, they haven't identified the shooter yet. I suspect it's because the scenario doesn't work in favor of gun control and/or he was some triggered leftist who wanted to get even with evil Trump supporting evangelicals or something.
