IDAHO FALLS-- After the tragic shooting of 26 Texans who were attending church, an Idaho Falls pastor reminds church leaders of the importance of active shooter training. Devin Kelley shot and killed members of the First Baptist Church between the ages of five and 72 in Sutherland Springs Texas which was the largest mass shooting in the state. River of Life Pastor Tim Rupp is acquainted with Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Frank Pomeroy. He tells EastIdahoNews.com he was sad to hear of the passing of Pomeroy's 14-year-old daughter Annabelle Pomeroy, a victim in the Texas shooting. “Pastor Frank Pomeroy and I go back to the late 1990’s. We used to attend the same church together in La Vernia (Texas), the First Baptist Church of La Vernia,” Rupp said.
