Local media say the shooter opened fire during communion and another member of congregation shot the suspect. The livestream of the service, which is currently unavailable, showed people ducking for cover behind pews.
“It was the most scariest thing. You feel like your life is flashing before you. I was so worried about my little one,” witness Isabel Arreola was quoted by CBS 11 News.
