这一袭击发生在德州威尔逊县萨瑟兰泉((Sutherland Springs)的第一浸信会。威尔逊县警长Joe Tackitt早些时候告诉记者,有多人死伤。目前还没找到可表明枪手动机的迹象。但死亡人数将持续增加。

联邦调查局探员追截疑凶,追至 Guadalupe County ,疑凶死亡,未知疑凶是被警员击毙,抑或自杀。

一些直升机已经抵达现场运输伤员。

在教堂附近工作的人称,听到最少 20 下枪声,应该是半自动枪械,当时大约 11 时 30 分,崇拜正在进行。

很多伤者分流到附近 Floresville 的 Connally Memorial 医疗中心,未知实际死伤人数。

德州州长艾搏特形容枪击为「邪恶行径」,料将与联邦调查局召开记者会交待详情。

目前正在日本进行访问的美国总统特朗普发推文说:“愿上帝保佑德克萨斯州, 萨瑟兰泉民众,联邦调查局(FBI)和执法机构正在现场,我正在从日本关注进展情况。”
