Tomatoes and cucumbers appear to grow just fine-and just as healthily-in smart, solar-powered greenhouses that capture solar energy for electricity.

Scientists from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have shown how crops can grow as healthily in these new greenhouses as they do in conventional greenhouses.

"We have demonstrated that 'smart greenhouses' can capture solar energy for electricity without reducing plant growth, which is pretty exciting," Michael Loik, professor of environmental studies at UCSC, said in a press release. Loik is the lead author for the paper, published in the American Geophysical Union's journal Earth's Future.

Solar Power Trapped by a Red Roof
Bright magenta panels cover the tops of the greenhouses, soaking up sunlight and transferring the energy to photovoltaic strips. From there, electricity is produced.

The greenhouses are able to take sunlight for energy and leave the rest, allowing plants to grow using a technology called Wavelength-Selective Photovoltaic Systems (WSPVs). The technology, developed by co-authors Sue Carter and Glenn Alers, is less expensive and more efficient than traditional photovoltaic systems.

The team tested the growth and fruit production across 20 varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, lemons, limes, peppers, strawberries and basil at two locations at the Santa Cruz campus and one in Watsonville, California. Scientists reported that 80 percent of the plants were unaffected by the slightly darker lighting from the magenta panels, and 20 percent of the crops grew better. Tomato plants needed 5 percent less water under the magenta panels.

Reducing the energy used in greenhouses is crucial since the use of greenhouses to grow food has increased by sixfold in the past 20 years, according to Loik.

Solar-powered greenhouses are one of several developments for new ways of farming in recent years.

Smart Greenhouse Detects Infestations
Another company, NatureSweet, has outfitted its greenhouses in Arizona with artificial intelligence, reported CNN. The plants are monitored with 10 cameras installed in the greenhouse ceilings which continuously take photographs to detect insect infestations or dying plants.

The software, developed by a company called Prospera, recognizes those problem spots and sends feedback 24/7. Previously, reported CNN, NatureSweet's employees walked through the greenhouse in order to spot issues with the plants.

Green roofs are another method of growing food in an attempt to utilize space and close gaps in access to foods in urban areas.

In Washington, D.C., Up Top Acres has opened five urban farms on the rooftops of buildings since 2015, reported Washington City Paper. Green roofs improve storm-water collection, habitat protection and energy preservation, in addition to providing food. The company's co-founder, Kathleen O'Keefe, told the paperthat the company may not produce enough food for the city, but green roofs can change the way people think about food, in addition to utilizing unused space.

2 of the 5 top deadliest mass shootings happened in the last 35 days.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Of the 30 deadliest shootings in the US dating back to 1949, 18 have occurred in the last 10 years. Two of the five deadliest took place in just the last 35 days.

Below is a list of the 10 deadliest single-day mass shootings in modern US history. If the shooter was killed or died by suicide during the incident, that death is not included in the total. (Here's an explanation of why we say "modern history").

October 1, 2017 - A gunman, identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, fires from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on a crowd of more than 20,000 gathered on the Las Vegas Strip for the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. He kills 58 people and injures more than 500. Police believe the gunman then kills himself. It is the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

June 12, 2016 - Omar Saddiqui Mateen, 29, opens fire inside Pulse, a gay nightclub, in Orlando. At least 49 people are killed and more than 50 are injured. Police shoot and kill Mateen during an operation to free hostages officials say he was holding at the club.

April 16, 2007 - Student Seung-Hui Cho, 23, goes on a shooting spree, killing 32 people in two locations and wounding an undetermined number of others on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The shooter dies by suicide.

December 14, 2012 - Adam Lanza, 20, guns down 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before turning the gun on himself. Investigators later find the shooter's mother, Nancy Lanza, dead from a gunshot wound.

November 5, 2017 - A manwalks into a small church in a rural Texas town and guns down 26 people. The shooter, identified by two law enforcement sources as Devin Patrick Kelley, is found dead after a brief chase, but it's unclear if he is killed or takes his own life. It is the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history.

October 16, 1991 - In Killeen, Texas, 35-year-old George Hennard crashes his pickup truck through the wall of a Luby's Cafeteria. After exiting the truck, Hennard shoots and kills 23 people. He then takes his own life.

July 18, 1984 - In San Ysidro, California, 41-year-old James Huberty, armed with a long-barreled Uzi, a pump-action shotgun and a handgun, shoots and kills 21 adults and children at a McDonald's. A police sharpshooter kills Huberty one hour after the rampage begins.

August 1, 1966 - Charles Joseph Whitman, a former US Marine, kills 16 and wounds at least 30 while shooting from a tower at the University of Texas at Austin. Police officers Ramiro Martinez and Houston McCoy shoot and kill Whitman in the tower. Whitman had killed his mother and wife earlier in the day.

December 2, 2015 - Married couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik open fire on an employee gathering taking place at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, killing 14 people. They are killed in a shootout with police later in the day.

August 20, 1986 - In Edmond, Oklahoma, part-time mail carrier Patrick Henry Sherrill, armed with three handguns, kills 14 postal workers in 10 minutes and then takes his own life with a bullet to the head.

what we know about the rifle used in the Texas church shooting

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The gunman in the Texas church massacre was armed with a Ruger AR-556 -- a type of AR-15, the military-style rifle that has been used in many other recent mass shootings.

The AR-15 was designed for the U.S. military in the 1950s. (The inventor, Eugene Stoner, worked for a company called Armalite, which is where the AR comes from. The number 556 refers to the caliber: 5.56 millimeters, also referred to as .223-caliber.)

AR-15s purchased by civilians are usually semiautomatic, which means that one bullet is fired every time the trigger is pulled. The rifles are loaded with magazines, which are basically boxes of bullets that feed automatically into the gun as it is fired, until the magazine empties or the gun jams.

The capacity of the magazines varies, usually starting at 10 rounds, which is the legal limit in some states, but more often holding 30. Companies like TorkMag and X-Products make magazines or circular drums that can hold 50, and some magazines can hold even more than that.

The man identified by law enforcement sources as the gunman in Texas, Devin Patrick Kelley, bought the rifle from a sporting goods store in San Antonio in April 2016, a law enforcement official told CNN.

When Kelley filled out the background check paperwork at the store, he checked the box to indicate he didn't have any disqualifying criminal history, the official said.

Governor Greg Abbott said the gunman tried to get a license to carry in Texas but was denied.

Related: Why the AR-15 is the preferred weapon of mass shooters

Authorities have not said what capacity magazine he had. Fred Milanowski, the ATF special agent in charge, said two handguns were also recovered from the suspect's car.

AR-15s and similar military-style rifles like AK-47s are often referred to as assault rifles or assault weapons, though members of the gun industry prefer to call them modern sporting rifles, or MSRs. Ruger has a suggested retail price of $799 for the AR-556.

These guns were restricted by federal law for 10 years, until the so-called assault weapons ban expired in 2004. That ban restricted certain components of the gun, like the pistol grips and bayonet lugs, and limited magazine capacity to 10.

Certain states, including New York, California and Massachusetts, still impose restrictions that are similar to the expired federal ban.

AR-15-type rifles were used in the two deadliest mass shootings in modern American history -- the killing of 58 people from a window of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas last month and the killing of 49 at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, last year.

They were also used in the mass killings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, and a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, both in 2012, and an office party in San Bernardino, California, in 2015.

AR-15s are made by many different companies, including industry leaders like American Outdoor Brands , which owns the Smith & Wesson line of M&P AR-15s, and also including Colt and Daniel Defense.

During the Obama administration, mass shootings often led to a surge in sales for AR-15s, because gun buyers feared the federal government would tighten gun control laws. But that didn't happen, and those fears were eased by the election of President Trump, who was endorsed by the NRA.

Gun retailers stockpiled AR-15s and other guns during the campaign, expecting Hillary Clinton to win. After Trump won, gun sales dropped, and sellers have lowered prices for AR-15 s, which has hurt the manufacturers' bottom line.

What we know about church shooting suspect Devin Patrick Kelley

When Sturm, Ruger reported a 35% plunge in quarterly sales last week, CEO Chris Killoy, told financial analysts that modern sporting rifles "got hit pretty heavily" this year. He called it a "soft sector" flooded with cheap rifles from off-brand competitors.

"MSRs are certainly an important part of our product line, but they're certainly not the dominant part of our product line by any means," he said. "We see that as a solid part of the market going forward, but it's still pretty bloody out there with the discounting from some of our competitors."

Ruger did not return messages on Monday from CNNMoney.

A version of the AR-15 known as the M-16 was first issued to U.S. soldiers and Marines in the Vietnam War, as America's answer to the AK-47, the rifle used by Soviet soldiers and the North Vietnamese.

Most U.S. soldiers now use a modern version known as the M4, though some soldiers use higher-priced AR-15s from companies like Daniel Defense.

AR-15s used by soldiers typically have a fully automatic setting as well as semiautomatic. This allows the gun to fire a continuous stream of bullets for as long as the trigger is pulled and held, until the gun runs out of bullets or jams.

Sometimes these military rifles have an auto-burst or double-tap setting as well, which allows more than one shot to be fired with a single trigger pull. Short bursts are considered more accurate than fully automatic, when aim becomes difficult to control.

It is possible for civilians to legally own fully automatic weapons, but it is difficult and expensive, given the extra layers of gun control. So most of the AR-15s owned by civilians are semiautomatic.

Trump asks Japan to build cars in the United States. The thing is they already do. He demands more they say he is not being considerable to today's reality.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump wants Japan Inc to "try" building vehicles in the U.S.

"Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That's not rude. Is that rude? I don't think so," Trump told executives from automakers including Toyota and Mazda during a trip to Japan on Monday.

Japanese automakers, however, already have huge factories in the U.S. that churn out millions of cars each year.

The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association estimates that its members built nearly 4 million vehicles in the U.S. in 2016, and employed nearly 90,000 people. The group said that 75% of Japanese cars sold in the U.S. last year were built in North America, including Mexico and Canada.

"Many Japanese cars are made in the U.S. already and this request is not reflective of today's reality," said Stephen Nagy, a professor at Tokyo's International Christian University.

Japan's big three automakers all have a major presence: Nissan says that it sold 1.5 million vehicles in the U.S. last year, and made 1 million in the country -- although some of those were for export. Honda locally manufactured 70% of the 1.2 million vehicles it sold in the U.S. in 2016.

Toyota , meanwhile, built 2.1 million cars at its North American plants last year. It didn't respond to a request for more detailed statistics.

Trade with Japan is a major flash point for Trump, who is on a lengthy tour of Asia. The U.S. runs a $57 billion trade deficit with Japan, and Trump has made reducing that figure a priority.

"Our trade with Japan is not fair and it's not open," he said Monday.

Related: Asia braces for Trump's trade trash talk

Foreign firms have been eager to play up their investments in the U.S. following the election of Trump, who blames lopsided trade agreements for decimating American industry and killing blue-collar jobs.

In August, Toyota and Mazda jointly announced that they would open a $1.6 billion manufacturing plant in the U.S.

Toyota, which is spending $1.3 billion to upgrade a facility in Kentucky, has also scaled back a planned $700 million investment in a new manufacturing plant in Mexico.

The U.S. runs deficits with all five countries that Trump will visit in Asia, including a particularly big one with China.

Texas church shooting youngest victim was 18-month-old, the gun men had threatened mother-in-law before hand.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Texas gunman who stormed into First Baptist Church on Sunday -- killing 26 people, including an 18-month-old -- had previously threatened his mother-in-law, who frequented the church but was not in the pews on Sunday, officials said.

Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin said "there was a domestic situation" within gunman Devin Patrick Kelley's family, and he threatened his mother-in-law in text messages.

"The suspect's mother-in-law attended this church," Martin told reporters.

Martin added the massacre was not believed to be racially or religiously motivated.

Kelley was dressed entirely in black during Sunday's attack and also wore a face mask replete with a white skull, Martin said.

"He was obviously suspicious to others based on how he was dressed in all black," he said. "He was wearing a face mask with a white skull on it."

"There was a domestic situation going on within this family. The suspect's mother-in-law attended this church."
- Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin

After his rampage at the church, Kelley engaged in a shoot-out with a neighbor who engaged the gunman.

"A local resident who lives across the street from the church heard what was going on," Martin said.

Kelley was hit at least once in the shoot-out, and jumped into an SUV to flee the scene, followed by 2 Good Samaritans.

During the pursuit, Martin said the 26-year-old called his father to tell him he was shot, and "didnt think he was going to make it."

Officials believe Kelley died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he crashed his car.

Of the 26 killed in the rampage, 23 people were found dead inside the church, two outside the building and one later died at the hospital, according to Martin. The victims ranged in ag e from 18 months to 77 years old, and one of those who died was pregnant.

A total of 20 people were were injured in the shooting, 10 of which are still hospitalized in critical condition. Those treated in hospitals ranged in age from 5 to 73, according to Martin.

There were three guns recovered from the scene of the rampage, according to ATF Houston Special Agent in Charge Fred Milanowski.

Milanowski added that officers recovered a Ruger AR-556 rifle at the church, and two additional handguns were recovered from the vehicle driven Kelley - a Glock 9mm and a Ruger .22-caliber.

Martin said Kelley did not have a license to carry a concealed handgun, but had a "non-commissioned, unarmed private security license similar to a security guard at a concert-type situation."

The church had an active presence on social media through Facebook and YouTube, with videos posted of services, FOX San Antonio reported.

Martin told reporters Monday that part of the massacre was recorded.

"I can tell you there is video recording from inside the church that has been secured," he said, without elaborating on the contents of the video.

In a video of its Oct. 8 service, a congregant who spoke and read Scripture pointed to the Oct. 1 Las Vegas shooting a week earlier as evidence of the "wicked nature" of man. That shooting left 58 dead and more than 500 injured.

Gov. Greg Abbott called Sunday's attack the worst mass shooting in Texas history. It came on the eighth anniversary of a shooting at Fort Hood, where 13 people were killed and 31 others wounded by a former Army major.

The previous deadliest mass shooting in Texas had been a 1991 attack in Killeen, when a mentally disturbed man crashed his pickup truck through a restaurant window at lunchtime and started shooting people, killing 23 and injuring more than 20 others.

The University of Texas was the site of one of the most infamous mass shootings in American history, when Marine sniper Charles Whitman climbed the Austin campus' clock tower in 1966 and began firing on stunned people below, killing 13 and wounding nearly three dozen others. He had killed his wife and mother before heading to the tower. One victim died a week later, and medical examiners eventually attributed a 17th death to Whitman in 2001.

A five year old girl that was born with a threatening heart condition and has been though two open heart surgeries and other procedures,and now has to have another open heart surgery but this she asked before her surgery if she could marry her best friend.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A little girl who was born with a life-threatening heart condition saw a big wish come true recently, when she was able to "marry" her best friend in a special playground ceremony. Sophia Elyssa Chiappalone, of Connecticut, has already undergone two open-heart surgeries and several other procedures, and had made the special request ahead of a third surgery, which is scheduled for January at Boston Children's Medical Center, Yahoo reported.

On Oct. 23, Sophia and her best friend, Hunter, who she met in preschool, joined together on a playground and exchanged "vows" while photographer Marisa Balletti-Lavoie of Sassy Mouth Photo captured the precious images. The idea came from the pint-sized bride herself, and was happily agreed to by Hunter and his mom.

Sophia was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, which is a genetic heart defect involving four different issues, shortly after her birth. Sophia's mother, Kristy Somerset-Chiappalone, started the "Sophia Elyssa Chiappalone the beautiful baby with a broken heart" Facebook page and explained that her daughter's case is considered severe and will require several open-heart procedures before it is completely repaired. The condition is also likely to shorten her lifespan, and she will need a heart and lung transplant in the future.

FAMILY SEES HOPE IN GENE THERAPY FOR SON DIAGNOSED WITH FATAL NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE
"She's a walking miracle," Somerset-Chiappalone told NBC Connecticut. "There is no life expectancy at this time because there's no reason for her to be alive."

Balletti-Lavoie told Yahoo she was asked to do the shoot by Hunter's mom, Tracy Laferriere, who is a close friend. Shortly after she shared photos of the pair on her Facebook page, their story went viral.

"I cannot help but be overwhelmed by the love and support we've gotten with Sophia and her recent wish," Somerset-Chiappalone posted on her personal Facebook page, on Oct. 25. "It was pure innocence in the purest form. My heart aches with joy with the people standing behind Supergirl on this fight. She's fought to be alive since her first breath, but that's all she knows. I love the idea of sharing the beautiful story that is her and Hunter. Most people wait a lifetime for someone who wouldn't stand by them through such illness. She met a best friend and love of her life at 3 who does. You know they say marry your best friend, it just doesn't usually happen before 1st grade!!! I agree, the world should know this story."

Laferriere started a GoFundMe page to help Somerset-Chiappalone, who is a single mother and has two other children, help cover medical expenses and transportation costs.

Texas church shooter David Patrick Kelley served in Air Force, was court-martialed for assaulting wife, child.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The gunman suspected of opening fire at a church in Texas on Sunday has been identified to Fox News as 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley.

Kelley, according to officials, killed at least 26 people and wounded approximately 20 after he unleashed a hail of bullets in the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, in the deadliest church shooting in modern U.S. history.

The gunman previously served in the U.S. Air Force, an Air Force spokesperson confirmed to Fox News. Kelley served at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014.

He was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his wife and his child. Kelley received a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force, in addition to confinement for 12 months and was reduced in rank.
TEXAS CHURCH MASSACRE: MAN HAILED A HERO FOR CHASING GUNMAN AFTER KILLINGS
Kelley worked as a security guard for a Texas waterpark this past summer, according to a resume under his name that appears online.

Investigators said Kelley didn't appear to be connected to any organized terrorist groups.

The suspect, who is believed to be from New Braunfels, a suburb outside San Antonio, was found dead in his car after he sped away from the scene of the shooting. Officials said it remained unclear whether he was shot dead by police or an armed nearby resident, or if he died from a self-inflicted wound.

A law enforcement official told the San Antonio Express-News Kelley wasn't believed to be a member of First Baptist Church, but had ties to the church through family members.

Police didn't name Kelley during a press conference, but only described him as a white male in his 20s.

Kelley was dressed in black tactical gear and wearing a ballistic vest when he arrived at a Valero gas station near the First Baptist Church around 11:20 a.m., investigators said.

Speaking at a news conference Sunday night, officials said he crossed the street to the church, left his vehicle and began firing a Ruger AR assault-type rifle at the place of worship. Kelley was then suspected of entering the church and firing at the crowds of people.

Investigators are looking into recent Facebook posts made by Kelley - one in particular that showed what appeared to be a semiautomatic weapon.

Kelley was married, according to The Daily Beast. His mother-in-law's P.O. Box was listed as a mailing address in Sutherland Springs.
Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Apple fans can finally turn themselves into an animated pig emoji on their very own iPhone X. The company's newest smartphone started going on sale in stores around the world Friday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Apple fans can finally turn themselves into an animated pig emoji on their very own iPhone X. The company's newest smartphone started going on sale in stores around the world Friday.

It's become a tradition for hundreds of dedicated customers to line-up outside stores around the world to be among the first to own the new iPhones.

Apple enthusiast Rupert Legallias in London lined up for hours, as he did for previous launches for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6, but he said this event was disorganized and his model sold out before he could get it.

"There was only 120 people in front of me in the [line]. Their stock level must have been non-existent," he said. "It's just a disappointment."

People who pre-ordered online will also start receiving their devices in the mail on Friday. Pre-orders for the iPhone X started early Tuesday morning. But within 15 minutes, the main Apple site in the U.S. ran out of devices that would ship on November 3. The wait times for online sales have jumped several weeks.

To celebrate the iPhone's 10th anniversary, Apple included a number of major changes to the iPhone X. The screen takes up more space on the device, and replaces the Home button with face-detection technology.

But those features don't come cheap. The iPhone X starts at $999 in the U.S. and significantly more in many other countries.

Apple has tried something new this year, launching two different iPhone models six weeks apart. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus went on sale September 21, but excitement was tepid outside Apple Stores compared to previous releases. Fewer people appeared to line up in person for that device, which cost hundreds less than the iPhone X.

The iPhone 8 devices are more traditional than the X. They added wireless charging, better cameras, and faster processors, but nothing as thrilling and futuristic as an animated poop emoji.

In Hong Kong, the iPhone X sells at a premium price, starting at 8,588 Hong Kong dollars ($1,100). But most people buying the latest model at a store in the city's main shopping district on Friday were Apple loyalists, willing to pony up the extra cash.

"The phone is worth the price. I've always been an iPhone user. I really like how the new iPhone X looks with the all-screen design," said KC Wong, a secretary in her 40s.

Several shoppers CNNMoney spoke with in Hong Kong were excited about being able to unlock their new phone with their face, but some were concerned about privacy.

"Even if Apple says it's secure, you never know if an accidental glance on the phone would unlock certain things on your phone. There are still privacy risks," said 27-year-old Leo Ko. But those concerns didn't stop him from buying the device.

Though the company has not released any sales figures yet, Apple CEO Tim Cook said on an earnings call Thursday that pre-orders for the iPhone X have been "very strong." He cited early reports of lines forming outside its stores ahead of the launch.

iPhone sales grew 3% in the most recent quarter, with 46.7 million iPhones sold in the three-month period ending September 30. The company said it expects sales for the upcoming holiday quarter to hit between $84 billion and $87 billion.

Officials say an Air Force base south of Omaha has expanded its defenses against drones and can stop any that venture within its boundaries of airspace.

A news release from the Offutt Air Force Base says it now has "a number of unique defense systems" to protect against drones, the Omaha World-Herald reported. The release doesn't go into specifics.

"Our mission is to ensure the safety and security of resources and personnel on base and this is just one method of keeping pace with an ever-evolving threat," said Lt. Col. William Smith, commander of the 55th Security Forces Squadron at the base.

Drones are entirely off-limits within 3 miles (5 kilometers) of the base's airfield. Drone use between 3 miles and the edge of its Federal Aviation Administration airspace at 5 miles (8 kilometers) is very limited.

The message follows recent guidance from the Pentagon that lays out the military's authority to disable or shoot down any drone that violates airspace restrictions over a U.S. base. Navy Capt. Jeff Davis said a classified policy covering drones had been approved in August.

Davis said the policy details the actions the military can take to stop any threat, including destroying or seizing any unmanned aircraft flown over a base.

"The increase of commercial and private drones in the U.S. has raised our concerns with regards to safety and security of our installations," he said.

The Federal Aviation Administration estimated last year that there are about 1.1 million drones in use. The agency predicted the number could grow to 4.5 million by 2021.

Davis said the military has always been authorized to defend the bases and troops, "but this I think makes it a little more solidified with what we're able to do."

church shooting in Texas killed 26 injuring 20 more ranging from 18 months and 77 years old. 26 year old shooter was killed. It was neither racially nor religiously motivated

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mass shooting at a rural Texas church Sunday that killed 26 people wasn't racially or religiously motivated, authorities said at a news conference this morning, noting that there was "domestic situation" within the suspect's family.

The Sunday rampage at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, about 40 miles southeast of San Antonio, left 26 dead, 20 others injured and sent survivors fleeing for their lives.

The ages of the deceased range from 18 months to 77 years old, authorities said this morning. Some parents had covered their children with their bodies, Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt. The sheriff said when he arrived at the church, first responders were doing triage and almost everyone was covered in blood.

The alleged shooter, a 26-year-old man, is also dead.

While authorities have not released a specific motive, authorities said this morning that the suspect's mother-in-law has attended the church and that she has received threatening texts from her son-in-law.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said earlier today on "Good Morning America" that he doesn't think the shooting "was just a random act of violence."

Tragedy at church

The attack began at about 11:20 a.m. Sunday, after a suspect was seen at a gas station in Sutherland Springs, dressed in all black, the Department of Public Safety said. The suspect crossed the street to the church, got out of his vehicle and began firing at the church, authorities said.

The suspect then moved to the right side of the church and continued to fire, before going inside the church and shooting more, authorities said.

Tackitt said the gunman entered from the back of the church, fired all the way to the front of the church, and then fired on his way back out of the church. He had time to reload several times, Tackitt said.

The church has two entrances, the sheriff said.

"As he exited the church, a local resident grabbed his rifle and engaged that suspect," Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety said. "The suspect dropped his rifle -- which was a Rueger AR assault-type rifle -- and fled from the church."

Two good Samaritans jumped into a truck and pursued the suspect in a high-speed car chase, authorities said.

The suspect crashed and was later found dead in his vehicle in Guadalupe County, according to authorities. Evidence shows the suspect may have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said this morning.

Multiple weapons were found in the vehicle, authorities said, adding that the suspect had tactical-type gear and was wearing a ballistic vest.

'He just kept going, kept going'

Kevin Jordan, who lives across the street from the church, told ABC News he saw the suspect "shooting as he's walking towards the church."

"He was wearing either body armor or a vest and a mask," Jordan said Sunday, "and I couldn't see his face or anything, and I saw him shooting and he just kept going, kept going.

"When I was trying to run back inside my house ... he saw me, and he took a shot off in my direction, and it went through the front window of my house. And my two-year-old son ... he was standing in the window, two feet from where it hit," Jordan said. "It almost hit him.

"I grabbed my son and grabbed my wife, and we barricaded ourselves in the bathroom and I called 911," Jordan added.

Jordan continued to hear shots, including some that didn't sound like the gunman's, so he peaked out the window and saw his friend was there with his own gun, confronting the suspect, he said.

There's no evidence that any church members were armed, Tackitt said.

14-year-old pastor's daughter among the dead

Annabelle Renee Pomeroy, 14, was one of the individuals slain at the house of worship, according to her father, Frank Pomeroy, who is a pastor at the church.

Annabelle "was one very beautiful, special child," Pomeroy told ABC News by phone.

Pomeroy said he was in Oklahoma during the shooting, a rare weekend that he wasn't at the church.

The other victims are all close friends of his, he said.

Abbott called the shooting the largest mass shooting in state history.

As of this morning, authorities said of the 20 wounded, 10 are in critical condition, four are in serious condition and six are in stable condition or have been released.

A portrait of the shooter emerges

The deceased shooter was identified as Devin Kelley, 26, of New Braunfels, Texas, which is about 35 miles from Sutherland Springs.

Kelley served in the Air Force from 2010 until 2014 and worked in the logistics readiness department at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

He was court-martialed in 2012 on charges of assault on his spouse and on their child. He received a bad conduct discharge, confinement for 12 months and a reduction of his military status.

He was able to purchase an assault rifle despite a law that restricts firearms from people convicted of domestic violence. Under U.S. law, a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence is prohibited from possessing firearms, but it is unclear whether there wre exceptions in this case that may have allowed the purchase to go forward.

Kelley purchased the Ruger model AR-556 rifle used in the shooting at a San Antonio sporting goods store in April 2016, according to a law enforcement official.

Trump: 'Mental health is your problem here'

President Donald Trump said mental health, not guns, is to blame for the massacre, calling the assailant a "very deranged individual."

"Mental health is your problem here," Trump said of the shooting during a joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. "This was a very, based on preliminary reports, a very deranged individual, a lot of problems over a long period of time. We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, as do other countries. But this isn't a guns situation."

The president went on to say it's a "little bit soon" to talk about gun policies after the tragic event, and suggested that the death toll could have been higher had it not been for the other armed person who, authorities said, confronted the suspect after he exited the church.

"Fortunately, somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction otherwise ... it would have been much worse," the president said. "This is a mental health problem at the highest level."

A community in shock

Paul Buford, a pastor at another church in Sutherland Springs, told ABC affiliate KSAT-TV in San Antonio Sunday his congregation was in the middle of their service at River Oaks Church when they started getting calls about the shooting.

Members of his church who are first responders rushed out while the rest of the congregation immediately started praying.

Hours after the shooting, the close-knit town came together at a candlelight vigil.

"The people of this church are wonderful people," Mike Gonzales, who lives nearby, told KSAT. "We're coming together to pray for them and show the world that now, in the midst of darkness, there is light."

Gov. Abbott said at Sunday afternoon's news conference, "This will be a long, suffering mourning for those in pain."

"We ask for God's comfort, for God's guidance and for God's healing for all those who are suffering," he said. "As governor I ask for every mom and dad at home tonight, that you put your arm around your kid and give your kid a big hug and let them know how much you love them knowing that we support each other."

The massacre in Texas is at least the third deadly shooting at a U.S. church in the past three years.

In June 2015, white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine black churchgoers during a Bible study at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Roof was sentenced to death this January.

In September 2017, a gunman allegedly stormed the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, Tennessee, fatally shooting a woman in the parking lot before entering the church sanctuary, shooting and wounding six people.

Timothy Coggins, 23, was found stabbed to death on October 9, 1983, near a high-tension power line in Sunny Side, a town about 30 miles south of Atlanta.

The 34-year-old cold case, which broke in October with the arrest of four men and a woman, was widely believed to be racially motivated, though no suspects or motive had previously been uncovered.

Then-investigator Larry Campbell told the local newspaper at the time that there were bloodstains and tire tracks in the field where Coggins' body was found. Both his lungs had been punctured, he said.

"He had been worked over with a knife pretty well," Campbell told the Griffin Daily News. "He had defense wounds where he'd thrown up an arm and so forth."

At a Wednesday bond hearing for suspects Frank Gebhardt, 59, and William Moore, 58, Corker accused them of acting brutally and having racist intentions.

"The murder of Timothy Coggins was due to Coggins socializing with a white female and that Coggins had been stabbed multiple times and drug behind a truck by Franklin Gebhardt and William Moore Sr.," Coker told the court, according to CNN affiliate WSB-TV.

The suspects -- who are charged with murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and concealing a death -- were denied bond.

Calls and emails to Gebhardt and Moore's lawyers were not returned.

Three other individuals charged with obstructing the investigation into Coggins' death remain out on bond, Coker said. Two of the suspects were working in law enforcement at the time of their alleged crimes, police say.

Coker's statement in court Wednesday is in line with the recollections of Coggins' niece.

Heather Coggins told CNN last month that most of her uncle's friends were white, which might not have sat well with some folks in middle Georgia during the early 1980s.

She and the family remember Timothy as thin, charismatic, playful and possessing a bright smile that showcased his "beautiful, pearly white teeth," she said. Heather Coggins was 6 when her uncle died.

Speaking to WSB-TV after the Wednesday court hearing, Heather Coggins said it felt as though she was living in a movie.

"It was very difficult hearing some of the things today, and seeing the defendants was very difficult as well. It's the first time we've had a chance to see them up close and personal," she said. "When are we going to wake up? This seems like a movie, as if we're watching it on Lifetime. It definitely doesn't feel like something that we are going through as a family, but it is real."

Gebhardt and Moore will be in court November 7 for a preliminary hearing.

The gunman suspected of opening fire at a church in Texas on Sunday has been identified to Fox News as 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley.

Kelley, according to officials, killed at least 26 people and wounded approximately 20 after he unleashed a hail of bullets in the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, in the deadliest church shooting in modern U.S. history.

The gunman previously served in the U.S. Air Force, an Air Force spokesperson confirmed to Fox News. Kelley served at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014.

He was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his wife and his child. Kelley received a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force, in addition to confinement for 12 months and was reduced in rank.
TEXAS CHURCH MASSACRE: MAN HAILED A HERO FOR CHASING GUNMAN AFTER KILLINGS
Kelley worked as a security guard for a Texas waterpark this past summer, according to a resume under his name that appears online.

Investigators said Kelley didn't appear to be connected to any organized terrorist groups.

The suspect, who is believed to be from New Braunfels, a suburb outside San Antonio, was found dead in his car after he sped away from the scene of the shooting. Officials said it remained unclear whether he was shot dead by police or an armed nearby resident, or if he died from a self-inflicted wound.

A law enforcement official told the San Antonio Express-News Kelley wasn't believed to be a member of First Baptist Church, but had ties to the church through family members.

Police didn't name Kelley during a press conference, but only described him as a white male in his 20s.

Kelley was dressed in black tactical gear and wearing a ballistic vest when he arrived at a Valero gas station near the First Baptist Church around 11:20 a.m., investigators said.

Speaking at a news conference Sunday night, officials said he crossed the street to the church, left his vehicle and began firing a Ruger AR assault-type rifle at the place of worship. Kelley was then suspected of entering the church and firing at the crowds of people.
TEXAS CHURCH SHOOTING: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE VICTIMS
Investigators are looking into recent Facebook posts made by Kelley - one in particular that showed what appeared to be a semiautomatic weapon.

Kelley was married, according to The Daily Beast. His mother-in-law's P.O. Box was listed as a mailing address in Sutherland Springs.
Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Uber is pledging $5 million during the next five years to fund sexual assault prevention groups as well as train its own employees.

The move was announced Monday and is aimed at helping the ride-hailing service combat its own problems and society as a whole.

Uber's image has been tarnished by findings of sexual harassment of employees and multiple reports of drivers assaulting passengers. Other industries have also recently come under fire as women have been coming forward with complaints of sexual assault in Hollywood and other industries.

Uber says the groups have helped it train 150 customer service agents for a team to deal with sexual assault reports. They've learned how to interview victims without being judgmental, and how to refer them to police and a crisis hotline.

Man killed in 1983 for 'socializing' with white woman

Suspects arrested in the 1983 slaying of a black man in Georgia were angry that he was socializing with a white woman, Spalding County District Attorney Benjamin Coker told CNN.

Timothy Coggins, 23, was found stabbed to death on October 9, 1983, near a high-tension power line in Sunny Side, a town about 30 miles south of Atlanta.

The gunman in the Texas church massacre was armed with a Ruger AR-556 -- a type of AR-15, the military-style rifle that has been used in many other recent mass shootings.The AR-15 was designed for the U.S. military in the 1950s. The inventor, Eugene Stoner, worked for a company called Armalite, which is where the AR comes from. The number 556 refers to the caliber: 5.56 millimeters, also referred to as .223-caliber.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The gunman in the Texas church massacre was armed with a Ruger AR-556 -- a type of AR-15, the military-style rifle that has been used in many other recent mass shootings.

The AR-15 was designed for the U.S. military in the 1950s. (The inventor, Eugene Stoner, worked for a company called Armalite, which is where the AR comes from. The number 556 refers to the caliber: 5.56 millimeters, also referred to as .223-caliber.)

AR-15s purchased by civilians are usually semiautomatic, which means that one bullet is fired every time the trigger is pulled. The rifles are loaded with magazines, which are basically boxes of bullets that feed automatically into the gun as it is fired, until the magazine empties or the gun jams.

The capacity of the magazines varies, usually starting at 10 rounds, which is the legal limit in some states, but more often holding 30. Companies like TorkMag and X-Products make magazines or circular drums that can hold 50, and some magazines can hold even more than that.

The man identified by law enforcement sources as the gunman in Texas, Devin Patrick Kelley, bought the rifle from a sporting goods store in San Antonio in April 2016, a law enforcement official told CNN.

When Kelley filled out the background check paperwork at the store, he checked the box to indicate he didn't have any disqualifying criminal history, the official said.

Governor Greg Abbott said the gunman tried to get a license to carry in Texas but was denied.

Related: Why the AR-15 is the preferred weapon of mass shooters

Authorities have not said what capacity magazine he had. Fred Milanowski, the ATF special agent in charge, said two handguns were also recovered from the suspect's car.

AR-15s and similar military-style rifles like AK-47s are often referred to as assault rifles or assault weapons, though members of the gun industry prefer to call them modern sporting rifles, or MSRs. Ruger has a suggested retail price of $799 for the AR-556.

These guns were restricted by federal law for 10 years, until the so-called assault weapons ban expired in 2004. That ban restricted certain components of the gun, like the pistol grips and bayonet lugs, and limited magazine capacity to 10.

Certain states, including New York, California and Massachusetts, still impose restrictions that are similar to the expired federal ban.

AR-15-type rifles were used in the two deadliest mass shootings in modern American history -- the killing of 58 people from a window of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas last month and the killing of 49 at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, last year.

They were also used in the mass killings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, and a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, both in 2012, and an office party in San Bernardino, California, in 2015.

AR-15s are made by many different companies, including industry leaders like American Outdoor Brands , which owns the Smith & Wesson line of M&P AR-15s, and also including Colt and Daniel Defense.

During the Obama administration, mass shootings often led to a surge in sales for AR-15s, because gun buyers feared the federal government would tighten gun control laws. But that didn't happen, and those fears were eased by the election of President Trump, who was endorsed by the NRA.

Gun retailers stockpiled AR-15s and other guns during the campaign, expecting Hillary Clinton to win. After Trump won, gun sales dropped, and sellers have lowered prices for AR-15 s, which has hurt the manufacturers' bottom line.

When Sturm, Ruger reported a 35% plunge in quarterly sales last week, CEO Chris Killoy, told financial analysts that modern sporting rifles "got hit pretty heavily" this year. He called it a "soft sector" flooded with cheap rifles from off-brand competitors.

"MSRs are certainly an important part of our product line, but they're certainly not the dominant part of our product line by any means," he said. "We see that as a solid part of the market going forward, but it's still pretty bloody out there with the discounting from some of our competitors."

Ruger did not return messages on Monday from CNNMoney.

A version of the AR-15 known as the M-16 was first issued to U.S. soldiers and Marines in the Vietnam War, as America's answer to the AK-47, the rifle used by Soviet soldiers and the North Vietnamese.

Most U.S. soldiers now use a modern version known as the M4, though some soldiers use higher-priced AR-15s from companies like Daniel Defense.

AR-15s used by soldiers typically have a fully automatic setting as well as semiautomatic. This allows the gun to fire a continuous stream of bullets for as long as the trigger is pulled and held, until the gun runs out of bullets or jams.

Sometimes these military rifles have an auto-burst or double-tap setting as well, which allows more than one shot to be fired with a single trigger pull. Short bursts are considered more accurate than fully automatic, when aim becomes difficult to control.

It is possible for civilians to legally own fully automatic weapons, but it is difficult and expensive, given the extra layers of gun control. So most of the AR-15s owned by civilians are semiautomatic.

A 47-year-old Colorado man suspected of fatally shooting three people inside a suburban Denver Walmart is due to make a court appearance Monday.

Scott Ostrem is being held without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder, a charge that can lead to life without parole or a death sentence.

But he could face additional charges Monday when prosecutors are expected to file formal charges.

Ostrem is accused of walking into the Walmart in the north Denver suburb of Thornton and killing two men and a woman on Nov. 1. He was arrested the following day after a brief car chase.

Killed were 52-year-old Pamela Marques of Denver; 66-year-old Carlos Moreno of Thornton; and 26-year-old Victor Vasquez of Denver.

Authorities have declined to comment about a motive for the shooting.
