Governor Greg Abbott last night joined over 100 at a prayer vigil held after the mass shooting took place yesterday:

Here’s more:

More than 100 people gathered after dark for a prayer vigil on a grassy street corner within sight of the church where the deadliest mass shooting in Texas’ history occurred.

Attendees, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, lit candles while some wept and others hugged Sunday night. They could see the church sign lit up and emergency lights flashing.

The vigil was across the street from a gas station convenience store where law enforcement officials say the shooter stopped before the attack.

Mike Gonzales, who does not attend the church but lives nearby said: “The people of this church are wonderful people.”

Gonzales added, “We’re coming together to pray for them and show the world that now, in the midst of darkness, there is light.”

One of those killed was 14-year-old Annabelle Pomeroy, the church pastor’s daughter.

Sherri Pomeroy, wife of Pastor Frank Pomeroy, said in a text message that she lost her daughter “and many friends” in the Sunday shooting.

Such a classy and thoughtful thing for Abbott to do.

I should also note that USA Today just revealed that 12-14 of the victims were children:

Horrible.

Here’s more on the victims via Fox News. Abbott is seen in the video near the end comforting a woman at the vigil:
