Johnnie Langendorff and Summer Caddel
Posted on 11/05/2017 7:45:55 PM PST by ETL
Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin said that the neighbor, who has not yet been named, had 'grabbed his rifle and engaged the suspect.'.
Martin said that during the gunfight, Kelley dropped his Ruger assault rifle and got back in his SUV to flee the scene.
But another local resident, Johnnie Langendorff, who had witnessed the confrontation refused to let the shooter get away. Both he and the unnamed neighbor jumped in his truck and gave chase.
In a Facebook post, Langendorff's girlfriend Summer Caddel described how the pair had 'jumped in my boyfriend's truck and they chased that sick b*****d down in pursuit until the cops could catch up. He was able to run the shooter off of the road on 539!'
Langendorff told KSAT 12 that he'd been speeding at 95mph, while on the phone to dispatch, while the neighbor kept his rifle trained on the gunman's car.
As they approached a sharp curve in the road, near the 307 and 539, he said Kelley appeared to lose control and his car swerved off the road.
'That's when I put the truck in park,' he said. 'The other gentleman jumped out, and had his rifle on him. He didn't move after that.'
Caddel added that Kelley was gunned down within a few feet from her boyfriend.
Martin confirmed that police had found Kelley dead, saying that: 'We are not sure if it was self inflicted or if he was shot by a local resident.'
Cops also found multiple weapons and possible explosives in the vehicle.

I think the kill shot happened before the car chase in the initial shootout. The dude drove until he bled out then ran off the road. Dead.
It don't get any more 'Texas' than that!
That’s funny.
I’ve been on Rugers website numerous times, and I’ve yet to see any “assault rifle” in their inventory
"...Johnnie Langendorff..."
The media has already identified the shooter’s weapon as an A-15 undoubtedly to be described as a fully automatic military assault rifle likely equipped with a silencer and using high capacity clips filled with automatic bullets and capable of firing 600 rounds per minute with a single pull of the trigger and that the answer is more gun control. No mention will be made that brave armed citizens stopped this vicious attack and likely prevented even more carnage.
I heard on some broadcast earlier that the weapon wasn't technically an assault rifle.
The armed citizen is the first responder.
This guy says the the good guy just kept his rifle on the bad guy, and he doesn’t know what happened after the police got there. The police say the guy was dead when they got there.
It was an AK-74 with an ultra-high capacity bump-silencer. Shooter bought it at an online gun show with no ID, email address or anything. He was radicalized by the alt-right group NRA which is reported to advertise on Russian owned Fox News.
Most people are hyped up on this story right now but when dust settles I hope that is the way it played out.
A lot of legal ramifications.
