Armed Patriot Takes Down Would-Be Mass Shooter in Texas Church
A good guy with a gun may have prevented dozens of deaths.
An armed bystander that sprang into action when a wannabe mass shooter brandished a weapon may have prevented dozens of deaths at a Texas church Sunday.
A shooter who entered the sanctuary of the West Freeway Church of Christ was shot dead quickly after withdrawing a long gun from a lengthy jacket. An armed security guard standing behind the congregation was quick to withdraw a semiautomatic pistol and open fire on the armed man.
The gunman shot two members of the church congregation, including one man who appeared to be the church usher, before being neutralized by the good guy. Reports indicate the victims were taken to an area hospital in the Fort Worth suburb of White Settlement, and one of them died on route.
Four others were injured in the traumatic event, including some who appear to have been hurt diving to escape the sick gunman’s line of sight.
The shooting was captured on a livestream hosted on the church’s YouTube channel. Still images revealed the dramatic moment in which the trenchcoat-clad shooter was engaged by the armed church member.
Here, I annotated the image, the shooter in black trench coat and black hat is wielding a shotgun (red arrow) and the good guy with a gun (green arrow) shoots him. Somewhere there is a video of all this. #WhiteSettlement #texas #activeshooter pic.twitter.com/ePW5lHhI2y

The armed man who fired back at the would-be mass murderer has been identified by church members as a former FBI agent and a designated security guard for the congregation.
The event is undoubtedly a tragedy, considering at least one innocent church member was murdered by the thus-unnamed gunman and more were injured. But it is a great relief to see a bloodthirsty killer stopped in his tracks by an armed patriot, proving once again that armed Americans can serve as a deterrent to the plots of evil individuals who wish to inflict harm upon the general public.
UPDATE:
Video of the event reveals how quickly the gunman was taken down by security.

POLL: National Support for Gun Control Plummets Amid 2020 Coronavirus, Crime Surge, Race Riots
Support for this leftist policy is declining.
A new poll from Rasmussen Reports reveals that nationwide support for gun control has plummeted during 2020, with only 52% of Americans describing their support for “stricter gun control laws” this year. An identical poll in 2019 revealed that 64% of Americans supported stricter gun control in 2019, with 12% changing their position this year.
The Rasmussen poll also reveals that Americans who were already gun owners have armed themselves in increasing fashion this year. A massive 27% of Americans who already have guns in their house have bought at least one new one in the last six months, showing that the nation’s existing population of gun owners has become even more resolute in their support of the Second Amendment.
The chaotic events of 2020 have proved sufficient to fuel what many have identified as the greatest “panic buy” of firearms and ammunition in American history, with sales records being routinely crushed on a monthly basis by US gun buyers. Concerns largely related to coronavirus, nationwide race riots, and an increase in violent crime have led in great part to millions of first-time gun owners in the country, with women and citizens of liberal states such as California executing their rights to gun ownership in a manner never previously seen.
Major firearm and ammunition retailers continue to regularly sell out of their inventory, unable to meet the massive demand for guns. Production halts in gun and ammo manufacturing have also played a crucial role in eroding inventories, with coronavirus halting the supply chain for metals such as copper.
More than 1,000 Americans across the country were surveyed for the Rasmussen poll.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has consistently reiterated his support for strict gun control measures, advocating for an outright ban of so-called “assault weapons” owned by tens of millions of Americans.
