At least 26 people were killed and 20 injured when a gunman opened fire at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday morning. It is the worst mass shooting in the state's history. Children are reported among the victims.

The suspect, described as a white male, wore a bulletproof vest and black combat gear. Police say that after leaving the church he was shot at by a local resident and dropped his assault rifle and fled the scene. He was later found dead in his vehicle.

Police have not confirmed the suspect's identity but US media have named him as Devin P Kelley, 26. The motive is still not clear.
