The youngest among the 26 people killed in the Texas church massacre was 18 months old, according to a report.

A report by KSAT did not provide details about the infant, one of several children targeted by mass killer Devin Kelley at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs near San Antonio.

The oldest of those killed was 72 years old.

Several of the 20 wounded victims remained hospitalised on Monday in conditions ranging from serious to critical, officials said.

Three children, including a 4-year-old, and two adults were at the University Health System in San Antonio, hospital spokeswoman Martha Rendon said.

One of the victims who died Sunday was a pediatric patient who had been taken to the hospital, said Rendon, who declined to release further details on the child.
