A gunman opened fire with a .38 caliber revolver outside the Sash Assembly of God church in Sash, Texas, on August 28, 2005. He killed two people there:
• James Wayne Armstrong (42 years old)
• Ernest Wesley Brown (61)
The perpetrator fled the area and came upon two women who had stopped their truck and horse trailer at an intersection on their way home from a weekend of horseback riding. He killed both with a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol.
• Holly Ann Love Brown (50)
• Ceri Litterio (46)
He later barricaded himself in his house, and after an hours-long standoff with police, took his own life.
