Gunman opens fire at church near San Antonio over 20 feared dead

More than 20 people have been reported killed and others were wounded after a gunman opened fire inside a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, about 30 miles southeast of San Antonio.

A witness reported seeing the man walk into First Baptist Church and open fire about 11:30 a.m., KSAT-TV said. He drove away afterward, but authorities say he was either shot by police or killed himself after a short chase.

The exact number of people who were killed and wounded has not been released.

“I would say it’s up there around 20-plus, I’m not sure,” Wilson County Commissioner Paul Pheil told the San Antonio Express News.

A 2-year-old was among the victims, KENS-TV reported.
