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.

Amen to your post.
Thank you!
You haven’t kept up. Ruger makes an AR-15, just like every other major American gun manufacturer. It is the most popular style of rifle in America. Maybe not in your area, but certainly in the free states.
You maybe missed my point.
there is no such thing as an “assault rifle”
Made up term by those who want to ban guns.
Its just your basic semi AR-15.
true- but johnny followed the fella at high speeds- weaving in and out of traffic to keep up with him to report where the fella was going - and he did so knowing the killer had a gun
Thanks for posting that info !
Shows him fatter & with a beard ...
The later pic on FB had him without the beard ...
Hmm... Wonder why he shaved it off.
Exactly
The Ruger AR15 is actually a pretty nice gun.
Had a chance to buy one recently from a friend, but waited a couple days too long to decide.
We need to dig up the man in black to write a song about this.

“...what about the man who actually got into a firefight with Kelley?
Is no one paying attention to what Langendorf really said? Who is the mystery man who picked up a rifle and went after Kelley with it?”
Excellent questions !
How was it that there was someone close by with a rifle or shotgun?
I love my state. I’m so sorry that this asshat penetrated the most sacred place in the world. Are people going to start arming themselves to go to church???? Prayers up for the families. Horrible, just horrible..........;(

The organ lengthener model? :o)

I don't know if it's been released yet. I have a feeling the guy's somewhere discussing the situation with an attorney before speaking to police. If so, I wouldn't blame him . After all, we see everyday how crazy things like this can turn out.
Much better than “shelter in place” !
Plus the 40 mm grenade launcher attachment...
