Houston, Dec 30 (UNI) A man shot and killed two people during a church service in the US state of Texas before being killed by the members of the church security team, authorities said.
According to City Police Chief J P Bevering, the shooter on Sunday morning walked into West Freeway Church of Christ and sat down in the sanctuary, then stood, pulled out a shotgun and shot two parishioners, CNN reported.
"There was a security team inside the church and they eliminated the threat," Bevering said.
Bevering praised the churchgoers who returned fire and killed the suspect as "heroic" and said there is no ongoing threat.
Matthew DeSarno, the FBI agent in charge of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, said they were working to find a motive for the attack.
The shooting took place at about 1150 hrs (17:50 GMT), during the morning service. The service was being live-streamed on social media.
The video footage shows that entire incident, from the time the shooter pulled out his gun until he was shot, took six seconds.
The two churchgoers who were shot died later in hospital, police said.
Meanwhile, Texas Gov, Greg Abbott offered his condolences in the wake of the shooting. "Our hearts go out to the victims and families of those killed in the evil act of violence that occurred at the West Freeway Church of Christ," he said.
"Places of worship are meant to be sacred, and I am grateful for the church members who acted quickly to take down the shooter and help prevent further loss of life, " he added.

Nothing controversial here
There's only one reason someone will go into a church and start shooting.. same reason someone goes there to bomb the place
Killing a terrorist is justifiably
