Also on Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence traveled to South Texas to console victims, families and friends of the victims.
The memorial at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs continues to grow. Tributes for those killed include stuffed animals, crosses, flowers and hand-written notes.
"Words fail when saints and heroes fall,” The vice president said at the vigil in Floresville, Texas.
During the vigil, Pence thanked the first responders for their life-saving efforts and the two neighbors who are credited with stopping the gunman from killing anyone else.
"Stephen Willeford, the plumber who grabbed his rifle and engaged the assailant, and Johnny Langendorff — both of whom we just met who pursued that attacker in a high-speed chase and saved the lives of Americans as a result,” Pence said.
The service came just hours after Pence met personally in Sutherland Springs with those who were injured and family members of those who were killed.
"I know the cherished names of the fallen will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew them,” he said. “But let me assure you their names will also be enshrined in the hearts of every American."
Before the vice president spoke, Governor Greg Abbott addressed the crowd. He put an emphasis on prayer, God, and the resilient spirit of those in the community.
"We will not be overcome by evil,” Abbott told the crowd. “We will overcome evil with good."
There were some tense moments before the vice president arrived in Floresville. Police there got a call about a possible active shooter but it turned out to be a false alarm.
In the meantime, FBI agents are still unable to unlock the gunman’s encrypted cellphone to learn what evidence it might hold.
Documents show Devin Kelly awaited a court-martial by the Air Force. He was committed to a mental hospital in New Mexico and briefly escaped.
In spite of the red flags, the Air Force failed to report Kelly to the FBI’s national gun buyer’s database. Had that been done, the gunman would have been banned from purchasing the weapons he used in the shooting.
