HONEY GROVE, Texas - A gunman killed four people at a rural church in a small north Texas town, then held off police in an nine-hour standoff before apparently killing himself, officials said Monday.

At least one other person was wounded.

The gunman reportedly knocked on the door of the Sash Assembly of God church Sunday night, then started firing when the door was opened. Three people were shot, including the pastor, according to WFAA-TV in Dallas. It was not immediately clear if the pastor was the wounded person or one of the two dead.

the motive for the shootings had not been determined.

2. Wonder what he said to the cops during that nine hours?

I think it's important to find out if he told them why he was doing this. NOT because I want to know, but to show the RW nuts just how crazy some of them really are!

3. at least he saved the state the trouble of frying him.
