Armed suspects flee from Burnet County church, heading north: police

Law enforcement is on high alert after two armed suspects fled from outside a Burnet County church on Sunday morning, heading north.

The Lampasas Police Department says it was informed by the Burnet County Sheriff's Office on Oct. 6 about an incident at a church where a security team member had confronted a suspicious person outside the building.

That person then fled to a white van with dark tinted windows and a second person with a firearm exited the van. The two then reportedly fled in a northward direction, says LPD.

LPD says it has called in additional staff and supervision to patrol the city, specifically the churches, and is coordinating with other local law enforcement agencies.
