WSB-TV reported that Pomeroy called his daughter "a beautiful, special child."

At least 25 people are dead and as many injured after a gunman entered First Baptist Church on Sunday morning and opened fire with what is believed to be a semi-automatic weapon.

Gunfire erupted at around 11:15 a.m. on Sunday and only lasted for about 15 seconds, witnesses said.

The gunman was killed after a chase by police, who have so far not released the killer's name.
