Texas shooting was not a random act as the suspect had connection with church, says Governor Greg Abbott

The man suspected of killing at least 26 people in a Baptist church in a rural Texas had a "connection" to the establishment and the massacre was not a random act, the state's governor has said. "I don't think this was just a random act of violence," Mr Abbott told anchor George Stephanopoulos. Relatives of the gunman sometimes worshipped at the church where he opened fire, but were not there during Sunday's attack, Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt Jr said.
