Five Dead After Nine-Hour Standoff In Rural Texas Town

http://media.graytvinc.com/images/policeHX1.jpg Five people were dead and one was wounded Monday after a bloody shooting rampage in a rural Red River Valley community overnight.
The rampage started Sunday night as evening services were under way at the Sash Assembly of God church, about 80 miles north of Dallas.
document.write('');Fannin County sheriff's officials say two people in the Sash Assembly of God church were killed and another was wounded when a man opened fire on the congregation.
The gunman also shot and killed two women who were in a vehicle outside the church.
Then the gunman fled to his home nearby and held deputies and police at bay for nine hours.
Fannin County Sheriff Kenneth Moore says the man was found dead Monday morning evidently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.






How could someone do this. This happened just walking distance from my home sunday night. One of tha men killed was tha paster. Tha two women that were killed were just leaving tha area after a long day of horsback riding. They were on there way home..Tha gun man chased this woman I know threw our woods shooting at her. She made it out alive, thank God. Tha man was crazy, People had called tha cops on him several times in tha past and told tha cops that something like this was gonna happen. One guy told tha cops last month that they needed to do something or he was gonna take him out himself. Tha cops said they cant do a thing till something actualy happens, now look 4 innosent people are dead cuz tha cops refused to listen. This sickens me and saddens me.

yep thats texas for ya. Yee haa. :biggrin:

Seriously, wtf. Any reason why he started shooting at the woman? Or at the others. Was it something that was said in the sermon.

TS out

no one knows. He was crazy, psycho. He had threatend to do this before. And nothing was done. He busted in tha church and started shooting random people. Them ran out and killed 2 women outside in there car. They were at a stop sighn. I knew tha paster and tha other man that was killed. He killed himself in his home across tha street...

There's a special place in hell for people like that.

I remember hearing about this on the news. Thats pretty close to you.

yep down tha street, about 300 ft from my home... Nothing like this has happened here before. Things are usualy pretty pieceful.
