White Settlement police were called to the West Freeway Church of Christ around 10 a.m., where the mass was being live-streamed on the church’s YouTube channel

A local Emergency Medical Services spokesperson confirmed that the suspected shooter and a victim died while being transported to a nearby hospital. The New York Times reports that the deceased victim was a member of the church’s security service.
The shooting was captured on a live stream of Sunday’s worship service. In the video, which is no longer available on the church’s Youtube channel, a person stands and pulls out what appears to be a shotgun, then fires twice before someone toward the back of the sanctuary returns fire. WFAA reporter Matt Howerton provided a description of the footage before it was taken down:
“Places of worship are meant to be sacred, and I am grateful for the church members who acted quickly to take down the shooter and help prevent further loss of life,” Governor Greg Abbot said in a statement. In September, a new law went into effect allowing Texans to carry firearms in places of worship.
