VANIER: One week after the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history, a church has reopened to remember the victims. The pastor of the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs said the shooter chose darkness but the community will choose light. 25 people and an unborn child were killed including the pastor's 14-year-old daughter. Our Kaylee Hartung has more.</s>KAYLEE HARTUNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Twenty-six chairs now sit inside First Baptist Church. Each chair placed in a location that a victim's body was found. As you walk among the chairs, you see the names handpainted in gold lettering. You see where Joann Ward threw her body on top of her children in an effort to protect them from gunfire. You see the vantage point that Karla Holcombe had as the horror unfolded before her, her chair the lone chair sitting on the altar. Each chair has a red rose sitting in it. There's one pink rose in the seat of the unborn baby Holcomb. You hear a recording being played in the sanctuary now. It's the voices of the victims from moments when they were involved in church services past. This sanctuary reopened to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday of this week. And the church leaders expressed a sense of urgency they felt to reopen the church's doors so that it could be a part of the healing process for some, to bring a sense of closure to others, particularly the victims' families. And next Sunday, the congregation of First Baptist Church will gather on the church's grounds for their worship service. Kaylee Hartung, CNN, Sutherland Springs, Texas.</s>VANIER: All right.
