Killeen "cult" church linked to others in three states

Law enforcement officials confirmed Thursday the Assembly of Prayer Christian Church, 1013 Massey St., in north Killeen was raided by the FBI Thursday morning.

In an email Thursday, FBI Special Agent Carmen Portillo said the FBI was “executing court authorized law enforcement activity today (Thursday) in the vicinity of the intersection of Massey St. and E. Rancier Ave., in Killeen, Texas.”
