> He deserves a medal. <

That was my first thought as well. Trump should give both the rifleman and the driver the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The medal can be given “for especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States.”

Those two deserve it much more than the empty suits Obama gave the medal to. Some of Obama’s awardees: Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Tom Brokaw.

More of a hero than John McCain will ever be.

He is certainly a hero.

Yet the liberals would want to prosecute him as a dangerous bitter clinger with a gun.

I know the killer had an “assault rifle”. Wonder why we aren’t being told what kind of rifle the citizen had? /s

Texas law enforcement reported that the monster had 3 gun shot wounds and the last one (to the head) was self-inflicted. Not to take away anything from the two heroes who shot and chased him (quite possibly preventing a worse killing spree); just reporting what I just heard.

Another interview quoted him as saying he was loading his magazine as fast as he could and couldn’t remember how many rounds he put in it.
It sounds like he had a similar black rifle such as an AR or an AK47 or other sport utility rifle that he used against the murderer.
The murderer called his father during the pursuit and told him he was shot and he didn’t think he would make it.
It appears that he was stopped in his murders by a citizen with what liberals and the MSM call an “assault” rifle.
A good guy with a semiautomatic rifle. Liberals will be apoplectic.

A sheriff spokesman said yesterday the good guy who engaged the shooter had some sort of “assault’ rifle. Could have been another AR 556 or a shotgun made to look scary. I suspect a 556 because the media is not mentioning it.

And had the presence of mind to grab a rifle rather than a handgun. Big difference in outcome. I wonder what kind it was?

There were over 50 unarmed good people in the church. Just the way DemocRats like them.

When they got the “Run, Hide, Tell” memo, these fellas crumpled it up and filed it in the circular cabinet.

That takes some serious cojones to maintain composure in that situation.

I have no doubt that Willeford caused Kelley to start to bleed out. Kelley probably started to feel weak, knowing he wasn't going to make it and offed himself.

Willeford & Langendorff (sounds like a law firm) deserve high honors, ESPECIALLY WILLEFORD because he critically injured the shooter and STOPPED more innocents from being murdered.

I’d think the barefoot hero would have kept those locked up.

Every Medal Of Honor recipient I’ve read about said they were scared during their actions.
