Candlelight vigil held to mourn victims of church shooting

Vigil

The community of Sutherland Springs is mourning the loss of 26 people killed in a church shooting.  People  gathered this evening across the street from the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs for a candlelight vigil to remember the victims. The church was the site of the deadliest mass shooting in the state's history when a gunman  opened fire during a Sunday morning service.  

The shooting spree was  stopped by a community member who shot at the gunman outside the church.  The gunman was found dead a short time later, but it isn't known if  he took his own life or was shot by police.
