Police: 2 parishioners shot and killed Texas church gunman

Associated Press
WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas (AP) — Congregants returned
fire and fatally shot a gunman who killed at least one per-
son in a church near Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday, police
said.
A second parishioner has life-threatening injuries follow-
ing the attack at the West Freeway Church of Christ,
White Settlement Police Department Chief J.P. Bevering
said during a news conference Sunday afternoon.
The assailant fired once before the "heroic actions" of the
congregants cut his assault short, Bevering said.
"Unfortunately, this country has seen so many of these
that we've actually gotten used to it at this point.
And it's tragic and it's a terrible situation, especially dur-
ing the holiday season," Jeoff Williams, a regional director
with the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at the
news conference.
