Parishioner Killed In TX Church Shooting Brother Of KC Sports Reporter Al Wallace

FORT WORTH, TX. (THECOUNT) — One of the victims in the Sunday Texas church shooting, 64-year-old Anton “Tony” Wallace, was the brother of sports anchor Al Wallace.

Tony Wallace, who lived in Fort Worth, Texas, was a nurse, which his brother said wasn’t surprising “because he always wanted to help people.”

“If I could sum up Tony with one word, it would be ‘kindness.’ He was the kindest man I have ever known, with not a mean bone in his body,” Al wrote. “And he was like that, even as a kid, reported Fox4KC, where Tony was formerly employed.

Keith Kinnunen has been identified as the gunman fatally shot by parishioners after he opened fire during a church service in White Settlement, Texas on Sunday.

Police Chief J.P. Bevering said, Kinnunen, 43, was only able to squeeze off two shots before being fatally struck by armed churchgoers.

According to TheBlaze, the gunman killed one person at West Freeway Church of Christ and seriously injured another. A video of the incident shows that he was taken down by churchgoers and what appears to be a security officer within three seconds of opening fire at the Sunday service.
