A flood of support has descended on Sutherland Springs, Texas, in the aftermath of Sunday's church massacre but the road to healing will take time.

People in this small community are numb with grief after a gunman stormed the First Baptist Church on Sunday, killing 25 people and an unborn child. They have walked along a memorial of crosses, comforted each other at vigils and soon they will attend funerals.

On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence met with the victims' families, offering condolences and a message of hope.
