Services return to Texas church

-

Hundreds of mourners crowded into the tiny town of Sutherland Springs for the first Sunday service since a gunman stormed the First Baptist Church a week earlier, killing more than two dozen people in the worst mass shooting in Texas history.

After an emotional sermon held outdoors under a massive white tent, congregant­s and the public were invited to return to the church for the first time since the tragedy. A chilling memorial set up inside the church included 26 white chairs -- including one for the unborn baby of a victim who was pregnant -- bearing each victim’s name or nickname painted in gold.
