Firing in Texas, 26 killed

A gunman killed at least 26 people in a Baptist church in the US state of Texas. Among the dead, a priest's 14-year-old daughter is also included. There are reports of gunmen also killed.

Texas Governor Grec Abbott said on Sunday that the firing took place in a church in Sadlerland, southern Texas, in which 26 people have lost their lives so far. It is said that the gunman was alone and when he entered the church, there was a prayer on Sunday. According to the police, he had an assault rifle. This man wearing black clothes started firing at the people present there. According to officials, there were people from 5 to 72 years of age. Wilbert County Commissioner Albert Gomez said that 20 other people were also injured in the incident on Sunday.

According to the police, the assailant was a white man who was around 25 years old. His identity has not been released. However, after the news agency AP handed over two anonymous officials, the name of the attacker was Devin Callie, who lives near the city of San Antonio. According to the St. Antonio Express News Newspaper, Kelly, who worked in the US Air Force, was court martial in 2012. He was convicted of domestic violence. The police is trying to find out the motive behind this attack. His house is also being searched.

American President Donald Trump, who was on a tour of five Asian countries, has said that he is keeping an eye on developments related to the firing incident. In America, incidents of firing often occur, for which the so-called gun culture is considered to be responsible. Anyone in the US can easily buy a gun. Critics consider gun culture responsible for the firing incidents, but there is no consensus in America about the issue of abolishing it.
