why focus on this church, this town, open fire on these people. and juxtaposition, how small this town s 400 or so. and 26 people living in that community are now gone. huge percentage of the community. people that you saw every day likely at local gas station, store, now no longer there. incredible tragedy for that community. unbelievable. church shooting in texas meeps that two of five deadliest mass shootings in american history have taken place in roughly the last month. tragedy in sutherland springs with 26 killed is fifth deadliest, superseding the shooting in key lean, texas, in which 22 were killed. and 35 days after mass shooting at las vegas at harvest music
