(Update: 26 people have been killed, at least 20 wounded.)

At least 20 people are feared dead in Texas after a gunman opened fire at a church outside San Antonio on Sunday, according to Fox News.

The incident occurred at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs. The gunman has been fatally shot by police.

Wilson County Commissioner Larry Wiley told Fox News that an emergency responder said between 20 and 24 people are dead and around 20 were wounded after a man walked into the church at about 11:30 a.m. on Sunday and opened fire at the crowd of people.

"It is horrible," Wiley said of the massacre, the motive of which is unknown. "It appears someone walked in and started shooting."

The gunman was killed roughly five miles away in Guadalupe County after being cornered by deputies.
