Who Were the Victims of the Sutherland Springs Massacre?

It was like any other Sunday morning inside of their tiny Texas church, until a gunman's unexplained rampage stole the lives of 26 people: mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents and more than a dozen children.

By the time the last bullet was fired, the victims — ranging from a pregnant woman and her unborn child to a 77-year-old grandfather — were left to die inside the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs.

 Among those killed was the 14-year-old daughter of Frank Pomeroy, First Baptist's pastor. During an emotional news conference Monday, Pomeroy's wife struggled to find the words to describe her grief after both her and her husband happened to avoid the shooting because they were out of town.
