More than 20 people have been killed after a gunman opened fire inside a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, media reported, citing authorities. The shooter has been killed by police.

Wilson County Commissioner Albert Gamez Jr said that at least 27 people have been killed in the shooting, according to reports by the CNN and the BBC.

He added that at least 20 more have been wounded in the attack.

Witnesses reported seeing the man walk into the Baptist Church in the town 30 miles from San Antonio at 11:30am local time Sunday, according to KSAT-12.

Sheriff Joe Tackitt confirmed to Wilson County News that there have been "multiple fatalities" and the shooter has been "taken down."

An eyewitness told CBS News that there was a heavy police presence on the road to the church, adding that they had seen people being airlifted from the area.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted to Twitter shortly after the incident, saying: "Our prayers are with all who were harmed by this evil act. Our thanks to law enforcement for their response. More details from DPS soon."

President Donald Trump has confirmed he is aware of the situation and said he was monitoring it from Japan.

Good God! No one at the church was armed?? With several recent church shootings, you'd think the church would have at least armed one of the deacons!
I'm surprised that in Texas, no one would have planned for this.. "Gun free zones" are magnets for nutters bent on harming innocent people, or assets who's mission is to spread fear and uncertainty.

Evil says "yum!" to hatred, fear, and violence.

Makes me wonder, every month there are more and more incidents of innocents killed/murdered in acts of mass violence.

As the pressure on the US elites continues with all the disclosures, especially recently, will the acts of violence increase.

After all they have to keep the herd in line, the masses controlled, and keep the fear of god in the public mind.

Don't say anything, don't do anything, don't go anywhere, we are watching you, your TV's speak to us, and the places where you thought you were safe, a church, a place of sanctuary, well think again!

We are Big Brother! And you should be feeling scared, I say laugh in there face, there are nothing but a bunch of degenerate Neanderthals that have never created anything in the history of the world.

Joan Ah, but the god of the old testament is the vengeful god. Christians worship the forgiving protector god of the new testament. I don't see how this would make the sheep god-fearing, especially when innocent children were killed.

This reminds me of something I heard years ago. I have no idea if this is true, but I heard that back in the 70's or 80's in Israel, they had a problem where "terrorists" were coming into school properties and shooting children and staff. Their answer was to train and arm the teachers. Unsurprisingly after a few dead terrorists, they stopped attacking schools!
America has to come to grips with the fact that we have enemies that live here and are citizens. Although it would be nice and safe to say we never have to consider our safety, that's unrealistic. The government won't keep us "safe". The police enforce the law, they aren't responsible for our safety! That was settled in a Colorado court some years ago. We are responsible for our own safety.
