Burnet County Sheriff’s Department officers responded to shots fired at a church in Burnet Sunday morning, according to a statement from authorities.

At approximately 10:33 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a 911 call from an unknown man calling police at Church at Epicenter, 2401 NUS 281, in Burnet. Officers determined that shots were fired by a member of the church’s “volunteer security team.”

According to the statement, the church member told officers at the scene that he was confronted by two “suspicious” men outside the church, one of whom had a rifle. Officials said the church member said the two men fled north on U.S. 281 in a white minivan after the church member shot them multiple times.

According to the authorities, no injuries are currently known.
