Church gunman kills four in US

A man walked into a church and opened fire, killing two people and wounding another, before shooting two women dead outside and taking their car, officials said today.

The suspected gunman was then tracked to a nearby home in the rural Sash community, near Honey Grove, Texas, where he surrendered after a nine hour stand-off with police, said Kristy Westcott, a dispatcher with the Fannin County Sheriff’s Department.
