Devin Patrick Kelley has identified by local officials as the shooter who opened fire at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, where around 50 people usually attend service, according to local reports.

Kelley, 26, of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio, was killed after the brief foot chase into Guadalupe County, according Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office spokesman Robert Murphy. But it's still unclear if the gunman shot himself or was taken down by authorities.

He was reportedly married and attended New Braunfels High School​.
