UPDATED: Gunman from Texas church shooting identified as 43-year-old man with criminal record

Update: How White Settlemant got it's name: "The city got its name because it was the lone settlement of white pioneers amid several Native American villages in the Fort Worth area in the Texas Republic territory in the 1840s.^[4][5] On October 14, 2005, city leaders, citing hurdles in attracting businesses,^[6] announced a plan to have local voters decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West Settlement. In the November 8 election, the name change was overwhelmingly rejected by a vote of 2,388 to 219.^[5][7] The oldest street in White Settlement is White Settlement Road. This original trail led from the fort to the "white settlement" about eight miles west into Native American territory. The area was called "white" because it was a settlement of "white" homesteaders, as opposed to other settlements in the vicinity that were composed of both white and Native American residents. As the Native Americans were forced from the area and the settlement moved westward, the road followed. This was the only public road in White Settlement's early history.^[8]

Washington Examiner  "The gunman from the shooting at West Freeway Church of Christ was identified as Keith Thomas Kinnunen, a 43-year-old male from River Oaks, Texas, with a long criminal record.
"A security volunteer killed Kinnunen after he opened fire and killed two during a church service on Sunday morning. Kinnunen had several previous felonies on his record, including charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon from 2009 and theft in 2013.
"He was also charged with possession of an illegal weapon in New Jersey after he was spotted surveilling an oil refinery with a 12-gauge shotgun by authorities. Kinnunen had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Oklahoma at the time of the incident. He claimed he was homeless at the time of the New Jersey arrest, but acknowledged that he was from Texas. The FBI noted that he had been "relatively transient” for the past several years.

"Additionally, Kinnunen had two arrests from 2009 and 2015 for unpaid traffic tickets in the state of Texas." . . .
