A good guy with a gun saves dozens of lives, the corrupt media yawns. – When a bad guy with a gun entered a Church of Christ sanctuary during Sunday morning service yesterday, he thought he’d have easy pickings. Well over 200 Christian parishioners were in attendance, and he no doubt figured he would be able to hang around for as long as he wanted and to basically name his score of victims.
The one thing this scumbag did not account for, however, was the presence of good guys with guns in the building, one of whom shot and killed him shortly after he began shooting. And good Texas gals with guns as well. Indeed in the breakdown of the video of the shooting, you can see that no fewer than seven people present, including two security guards, drew down on the perpetrator when he opened fire:
Rathdranalon @Daicheal Some anon broke down the footage from the shooting at the Texas church earlier on and no less than seven of the congregation members happened to be armed including one elderly lady (no. 5).
Ain't no messing around down that way by the looks of things.

The hilarious comedian Ron White had this great line about Texas and Texans:
“If you kill somebody in Texas, Texas will kill you back.”
On Sunday morning in White Settlement, Texas, Texans killed back a monster who had killed two of their own. This result was made possible by the concealed carry laws in Texas, which allow licensed citizens to carry concealed firearms into most public places, including churches. To emphasize that key point even more, the security guard responsible for taking the killer down (pictured below) has been identified as a local man named Jack Wilson, who happens to be a licensed firearms instructor.
The police in White Settlement, a small suburb of Fort Worth, have thus far chosen not to make the identity of the gunman public, which is great. Let’s hope they never name the degenerate scumbag – he doesn’t merit the attention or infamy. It’s a shame that law enforcement officials in other cities where these attacks happen don’t take the same approach, since infamy is what these people are seeking.
Of course, our corrupt news media outside of Fox News and the local news outlets in the Dallas/Fort Worth area barely chose to report on this incident. That’s not just because the number of those dead remained blessedly low, but also because of the very fact that the outcome of the incident highlights the undeniable value of concealed carry laws and of having armed security onsite at churches, schools and other public places.
Regional Director of Texas Department of Public Safety Jeoff Williams emphasized just how important those farcors were in saving lives, when he said this to the assembled press:
“The citizens who were inside that church undoubtedly saved 242 other parishioners.”
Yes, they did. But those factors do not fit the prevailing anti-gun Democrat/media narrative, thus relegating this event to something to be avoided by the corrupt editors and reporters at the national media outlets.
It must be a truly miserable existence to work inside a dying “news” operation that considers its overarching job to be creating and maintaining a false reality for an ever-diminishing audience.
God bless the people of White Settlement, and the families of those who were lost or injured in this heinous act.
That is all.
That would sure be something citizens deserve to know if it was one of our revenge moslem imports.
I read in another report on this the response time was 6 seconds. It is unfortunate that in those 6 seconds the criminal was able to take two lives in that time. Just think how many lives would have been lost if he wasn’t stopped for minutes - until law enforcement got there. Wonder how many shotgun shells or rounds he had on him? Or if he was armed with a backup weapon? A “round count” would probably give us a good idea how many lives were saved.
I would say by viewing the video that the open carry (probably designated security) instinctively was reaching for his weapon after the first shot. He smoothly assumed a shooting stance and took the bad guy out. Perfect reflex action and follow through.
The bad guy appeared to have a shotgun and got off three shots. How many rounds did he have left?
_______________
From what I saw, I think the third shot was as in the air as he was going down.
Unless your state has a stupid law making it illegal to to carry in church.
If their is no screening at the doors with equipment such as x-rays and metal detectors, anyone could walk into a church with a gun, even a good guy. :)
Sure
NZ: People’s guns were grabbed
TX: People grabbed their guns
It’s very probably a fair assumption that he wasn’t down to zero, not quite yet before he got shot. What is the point of your question?
It’s interesting how the media is dragging their feet on publishing who this was...
...so soon after the New York Jewish slashing spree.
?
The Hero shooter was none too close to the bad guy.
One shot. Good shooting.
I love Texas!
If you listen closely you can actually hear the heads of gun grabbing liberals exploding across the country...
Uhhhhhhh...
Yep, something’s up with that.
Just imagine if it were not the Sunday after Christmas! Perhaps the lowest attendance Sunday of the year.
I quoted someone who said 242 people were saved. Did the bad guy have that much ammo in his shotgun?
Poor guy. He just couldn’t get his head together afterwards...
From what I saw, I think the third shot was as in the air as he was going down.
...
I saw a closeup video and his last shot was toward the podium, but the pastor was thankfully taking cover.
TalBlack is one of our good guys. Check his posting history.
The evil murderer shooter gets sent to hell from a church after being in the presence of worshiping God as his last chance for redemption. That’s gonna torment him as much as the flames.
For a moment there I thought you might have misspelled 'refugee'...
