When you are suicidal psychologically it is often referred to as being "Suicidal-Homicidal". They are just two sides of the same coin.

Following the aftermath of the Sutherland Springs church
shooting that killed 26 worshipers, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
(R) said that professional security or armed congregation members might
be needed "when something like this happens again."
During an
interview with FOX News Sunday,
Paxton gave his comments about the nation's most recent mass shooting
and what the government should do to change these things.

"I wish some law would fix all of this," he said during the
interview. "You can't necessarily keep guns out of the hands of people
who are going to violate the law. If someone is willing to kill someone,
they're also going to be willing to violate a gun law.
"All I can say is in Texas at least we have the opportunity to
concealed carry," he explained. "And so ... there's always the
opportunity that gunman will be taken out before he has the opportunity
to kill very many people.
"As we speak, we've had
shootings at churches for forever. This is going to happen again. And
so, we need people in terms of professional security or in terms of
arming the parishioners or the congregation so that they can respond
when something like this happens again.

THE HISTORY: This is the timeline of mass shootings in the United States
The shooter, Devin P. Kelley, 26, walked into the 11:30 service at
First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas and started firing,
killing at least 25 people, including children and injuring a dozen or
more.
As Kelley left the
church, he met an unidentified area resident with his own rifle who
pursued him in his truck. The suspect was found dead in his vehicle near
the border between Wilson and Guadalupe counties.
