The youngest victim of yesterday's Texas mass shooting was an 18-month-old baby, police have reported. 

The baby was killed along with 25 other people in the attack carried out on church-goers. A pregnant woman was also killed during the incident. The attack occurred on Sunday in a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, when a man entered the building and began shooting an assault rifle. Devin Kelley killed 26 people and left at least 10 more in critical condition. Among those were the 18-month-old baby, a five-year-old girl, and her sister, who is eight-years-old. The sisters' brother was shot in the stomach, arm, and groin, and is currently in critical condition in hospital. Kelley died shortly after fleeing the scene.
