At least 26 dead at Baptist church near San Antonio in worst shooting in Texas history
At least 26 people [have been killed and more than a dozen were wounded]( Sunday after a gunman opened fire at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs during the morning's service. The shooting is the deadliest in Texas history. Â
The shooter was found dead in his vehicle, which had crashed near the Wilson and Guadalupe county lines. Itâs unclear whether he killed himself or was mortally wounded by the resident who engaged him, Martin said.
Of those killed, 23 were dead inside the church, two were found dead outside, and one person died at a hospital, Martin said. About 20 people were wounded and transported to area hospitals with injuries that range from minor to severe. The victims' ages range from 5 to 72.

Immigrants without state ID will be allowed to use other forms if stopped by Dallas-area police
Several North Texas police departments say that if stopped or questioned, immigrants without state-issued IDÂ [will be allowed to identify themselves with other paperwork.](
Police chiefs from Carrollton, Dallas and Farmers Branch told a crowd of nearly 1,000 people at a Dallas-Area Interfaith meeting Sunday afternoon that they would recognize utility bills, library cards, church membership cards and other forms of IDs.
"The Dallas Police Department will always work with you," said Deputy Chief Gary Tittle. "We recognize that a state ID is the best form of identification, however, if all the identification that you have is from a parish or is a utility bill, something is better than nothing."

Finally...
Voters will decide Tuesday on three propositions worth $45 million that Cedar Hill officials say [will help manage the needs of a growing population]( and bolster the townâs city center development plan.
The ballot breakdown looks like this: $10 million for street and drainage improvements, $15 million for park and recreation facilities, and $20 million for a new, 46,000-square-foot library. If voters approve the projects, the town will issue general obligation bonds to finance them.
Tuesdayâs election comes at a time when citizens are divided over the City Councilâs plans to ramp up development inside 800 acres at the center of town, a project theyâve dubbed the âcity center.ââ
[The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday]( that while council members have approved phases of the city center plan over the last decade, they failed to disclose all their property holdings, as well as close family membersâ, as required by the townâs old ethics code. The council eliminated that disclosure provision earlier this year.
