UPDATE: Texas Church Shooter Identified

UPDATE: The death toll in the Texas church shooting is now 26, according to Governor Greg Abbott.

The Texas church shooting suspect was dressed all in black, wearing tactical gear, including a "ballistic vest."

The gun involved is described as a Ruger version of the AR-15 in .223 caliber.

UPDATE: Two officials have identified the suspect in a mass shooting at a Texas church to the Associated Press as Devin Kelley.

The officials — one a U.S. official and the other in law enforcement — spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation, which they were briefed on.

The U.S. official says Kelly lived in a suburb of San Antonio and that he doesn't appear to be linked to organized terrorist groups. The official says investigators are looking at social media posts Kelley may have made in the days before Sunday's attack, including one that appeared to show an AR-15 semiautomatic weapon.

UPDATE: At least 20 people have been killed and many injured in the Texas church shooting.

The Pastor's wife says she and husband were out of town when Texas church was attacked but their teenaged daughter is among the dead.

A spokeswoman say the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is sending special agents from field offices in Houston and San Antonio to the site of a church shooting in South Texas.

ATF spokeswoman Mary Markos did not immediately have further details.

A sheriff says that a man walked into the church and started firing. Authorities say the attacker is dead.

The number of fatalities or injuries hasn't been confirmed by authorities, but a Wilson County commissioner, Albert Gamez, has told cable news outlets that he was told it was more than 20 killed and 20 wounded, though those figures aren't confirmed.

One hospital about 10 miles from the shooting says there "multiple" victims with gunshot wounds are being treated.

Connally Memorial Medical Center spokeswoman Megan Posey declined to say how many patients were being treated at the hospital, but said the number was less than a dozen. The hospital is in Floresville, Texas.
