Texas Slaughter Highlights Line Between Mass Killing and Terrorism

A gunman shot dead 26 people at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday, before taking his own life, authorities said.

Police said the attack was spurred by a domestic dispute between the suspect and his ex-wife’s family – not terrorism, according to Freeman Martin, regional director of the Texas Department of Public Safety in comments to reporters.
