At least 26 people were killed in Sunday’s church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said at a press conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

About 20 others were wounded, said Freeman Martin, a regional director with the Texas Department of Public Safety, with victims ranging in age from 5 to 72 years old.<\/div>\n
Among the dead is the 14-year-old daughter of the First Baptist Church’s pastor, Frank Pomeroy, according to his wife, Sherri Pomeroy, the girl’s mother. The couple were traveling out of state when the shooting occurred.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Authorities have not said what may have motivated the suspected shooter, who was later found dead in his vehicle.<\/div>\n
The shooting has devastated the small Texas town east of San Antonio, described as a place where “everybody knows everybody.”<\/div>\n
