Thank God the shooter was shot. This calls for concern. The one who stopped him actually brought a gun to the CHURCH!

In all, there has been 41 mass killings in the u.s since 2019, defined as when four or more people are killed excluding the perpetrator. Of those, 33 were mass shootings and a total of 250 ppl have been killed.

Stats show you are very wrong

As at today there has been 412 mass shootings this year alone in USA

3 days ago it was 409

They think this is Nigeria where you can lie like Lai Mohammed and quote useless false figures claiming them to be truth. The stats are online for everyone to see.

Does Nigeria even keep stats of deaths? No. Because there is no value for human life in Nig.

All thanks to the propaganda they unleashed to brainwash people into thinking they are safer than anywhere in Africa.

Even black americans are fed up. Why do you think that till date there is a mad shout for Gun laws in USA? It is because the deaths are too much

At least it is better that you are given a chance to protect yourself with your *.45* than for one idiot to come and have a ball, while taking away your life easily.

Stop posting FALSE information and plucking figures out of the air. 70,000 from where? You think this is Nigeria.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50936575

The US suffered more mass killings in 2019 than any year on record, according to researchers. A database compiled by the Associated Press (AP), USA Today and Northeastern University recorded 41 incidents and a total of 211 deaths.

It's a huge shame.
No single value for human life, both by govt and citizens.

All these people defending the govt blindly, one day one day, they will become the very victim of what they are defending. Till then.

When this is over, the man who brought a handgun to church should go for psychiatric evaluation. He might be the next shooter

Many congregants brought guns. He wasn't the only one.

USA lied in their propaganda that Christians were being targeted by Muslims in Nigeria but just today here is an attack against Christians in USA and it is not the first.

Mass shootings in USA has become a daily occurrence yet same USA claims Africa is not safe.

Records show that USA has the highest number of mass killings but it is Nigeria or Africa that is not safe.

Okay o

It is high time Africa countries began issuing travel warnings to her citizens against going to USA

A typical example of a "foolish write up to make a valid point"
Point: there is violence in america
What you missed is: Africa is worse.

Do you know there are several reported shootings and killings in Africa with weathered down numbers?

You call the killing of Christians propaganda when the so-called jihadists didn't even deny.

A gunman opened fire in a church in Texas, killing one parishioner and wounding another before being shot dead by members of the congregation.

The gunman stood up from a pew at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, pulled out a shotgun, a begun shooting.

Police said they were still trying to determine the attacker's motives.

White Settlement Police Chief JP Bevering praised "the heroic actions" of those who confronted the attacker.

The shooting took place at about 11:50 (17:50 GMT), during the morning service. The service was being live-streamed on social media.

Video footage showed the gunman stand up from a pew and speak to a man nearby, who gestured at another parishioner. The gunman then fired at the man he gestured toward.

The gunman fired again, at the man he had spoken to, before a member of the congregation returned fire with a handgun, immediately felling the attacker. Several other parishioners also produced handguns and trained them on the attacker. It was not clear from the video footage whether any of the other armed parishioners fired shots.

The shooting happened during the morning service at West Freeway Church of Christ
US sees highest number of mass killings on record
Members of the congregation in the nearly full church ducked down behind pews as screaming filled the room.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the shooting "an evil act of violence".

"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," he said in a statement.

Witness Isabel Arreola told local broadcaster CBS DFW: "It was the most scariest thing. You feel like your life is flashing before you. I was so worried about my little one."

Texas has seen a number of deadly shootings this year. In August, 22 people died and 24 were wounded at a Walmart store in El Paso. The same month a gunman killed seven and wounded 20 at Odessa-Midland.

In 2017, 26 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, during a Sunday service.

I take it that, you are not a statistician, hence you are quoting figures out of context.

The bottom line is, you are twice more likely to get murder in Nigeria compare to the USA.

Try to index your figures against the total population of both countries, the murder rate in the US is about 4.9 per 100,000 of the population, whereas in Nigeria, it is 9.85 per 100,000 of the population.

The irony of all these is that, there are more guns within the civilian population in USA indexed per population compare to Nigeria. Imagine if the rate of guns on the street of Nigeria is equal to those in the USA, Nigeria will be a war zone. There is now 120.5 guns to each 100 residents in the USA, which means about 20% more guns than the whole population, imagine that kind of scenario today couple with the level frustration in Nigeria and see the murder rate sky-rocking.

Lets compare apples to apples.

You've said it all
Hatred and frustration will not let some persons say what is right at d right time

We are talking about a credible global source - the BBC, which is completely non-partisan, you are talking NGO. Please apply some sense, it's really not that difficult.

The US is the number one brander in the world.For every reported crime committed in the US there are many unreported. They chose what they want outsiders to see,and they tell the story according to how they want it to be heard. The have country integrity. But in Africa Nigeria per se, people are willing to report even event that didn't even happen,they careless about the image of the country. My brother that's the problem. Our content makers are doing a bad job in sending wrong picture of Africa to the way. The way we tell our story is the way the world sees it. So our media needs to step up their game
