Gunman kills 2 at White Settlement church before 2 members fatally shoot him - Dallas News
A gunman killed two people during a Sunday-morning service at a church in White Settlement before members of the congregation fatally shot him, authorities say.
Police in White Settlement, about eight miles west of Fort Worth, were called before 11 a.m. to the West Freeway Church of Christ at 1900 South Las Vegas Trail after two members who were part of the church's security team opened fire on the gunman.
"We lost two great men today, but it could have been a lot worse and I am thankful our government has allowed us the opportunity to protect ourselves," said Britt Farmer, the church's senior minister.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, speaking at the evening news conference, highlighted changes in state law that ensured the right to carry concealed weapons in churches. He credited the church's volunteer security team for protecting their fellow members. "The heroism today is unparalleled."
