The gunman, who was not identified, sustained a gunshot wound to his left hand, Sheriff Smith said, though it was unclear who shot him. One other person was shot and was in surgery at UT Health East Texas hospital on Sunday afternoon, officials said. Another person, a woman who was not shot, had non-life threatening injuries from a fall during the chaos after the shooting. There were four people, excluding the gunman, in the church at the time of the shooting, Sheriff Smith said. The gunman “had one of the red bank bags that belonged in the church in his hand” when the pastor discovered him in the restroom, Sheriff Smith said.
