Burnet County Church Shooting

Shots Fired at Burnet Church

Burnet County Sheriff's Department officers responded to shots fired at a Burnet church Sunday morning, according to a release from authorities.

At around 10:33 a.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a 911 call from an unknown man who requested police at the Church at the Epicenter, located at 2401 N. U.S. 281, in Burnet. Deputies determined shots were fired from a member of the church's "volunteer safety team."

According to the statement, the church member told the deputies on the scene he confronted two "suspicious" males outside the church, one of whom had a rifle. Deputies said the church member said the two males fled the scene in a white minivan, northbound on U.S. 281, after the church member shot at them multiple times.

Authorities said there are no known injuries at this time.

The Burnet County Sheriff's Office is working with state and federal agencies investigating this incident.
