A pastor was killed and two other people were injured Sunday in a shooting at a Texas church, Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement.The shooting occurred Sunday morning at Starrville Methodist Church in Starrville when the pastor found the suspect hiding in the bathroom, authorities said. The suspect grabbed the pastor's gun and fatally shot him with it, they said.
"He starts coming toward the front door, then he turns around and lunges at the pastor and was able to disarm the pastor, it appears at this time," said Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith said. "He used the pastor's firearm is the one he used. The pastor is deceased at this time."

Authorities did not release the names of the pastor or the suspect, who had snuck into the church to hide Saturday night after fleeing police following an incident, Smith said.

The suspect later left the church but returned Sunday during an early morning manhunt, he said.
One person was being treated for a gunshot wound and another for injuries related to a fall, he said.

The suspect was apprehended in neighboring Harrison County after he stole the pastor's vehicle to flee the church, Smith said. He had a gunshot wound to his hand, but it was unclear when he was shot.

If the pastor didn't have a gun the guy would have just taken the machete off the pastor and killed him with that. Guns are not the issue here.
