According to ksat.com, locals who witnessed the shooting this morning in Sutherland Springs, Texas returned fire at the gunman and followed as he tried to escape.
Summer Caddel said her boyfriend, Johnnie Langendorff, called her moments after the shooting at First Baptist Church and told her that he saw a gunfight between the shooter and a neighbor, who was returning fire.
Langendorff then told Caddel the suspect — who has not been publicly identified — then got into an SUV and drove away, and the two gave chase.
Langendorff apparently chased the shooter down while on the phone with a 911 operator until the shooter’s SUV crashed.
The shooter was killed after a brief chase north into neighboring Guadalupe County, according to Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Robert Murphy. It is unclear if the shooter was killed by police or took his own life, Murphy said.
The shooter remains unidentified, though a press conference is due to begin soon which should shed more light on the murderer and possibly his motivation.
The murderer was identified by CBS News and the New York Times as 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley, and not Chris Ward.
WTF?
Oh look, Church was gun free and armed citizen stopped him. Just wait till the “white” attacker turns out to be a mudslime.
Mean while on vice news: “why werent any of those gun nut texans armed to fight back?!?”
One article says he was dishonorably discharged in 2014. Got a LinkedIn Profile, but may not be him.
BTW, Pastor is rotting in living Hell for the poster who wished it. His 14 year old daughter is reportedly dead.
This is very small “don’t need to lock the door” community. One survivor reportedly left her keys in her car during the service.
Here is some information on the perp. Looks like they already scrubbed a bunch of stuff off the internet.

Anyone want to bet he was on (or had been on) antidepressants? Too many people in this country are dependant on antidepressants or have children whose problems they “solve” with medication. There were lots of people with guns when I was growing up, but the mass shootings only started when we replaced family, country, community, and God with the Internet and antidepressants.
I’m not saying we need to outlaw antidepressants — I’m sure they do help a lot of people and they don’t turn every user into a mass killer. But the more people who are put on meds to deal with their issues, the more mass killings we have … and given how many of the “important people” in society (or their family members) are on meds themselves, there’s NO motivation to look into this apparant link.
If you want to preserve your second ammendment rights in the face of these mass killings, you need to start examining the reasons why mass shootings have become a weekly occurence in the last few decades. Antidepressants are the most logical place to start.
Anti depressants give me the shits and I couldn’t get a hard on, and when I did my girl feind said “ouch”, I quit using them when I found that Meth they make out of bug spray and fix a flat
I watched the Governor of Texas and the the rest of the blast of hot air where basically nothing was said except one thing. He was dressed completely in black.
Hmmmmm now who else was it who dressed in black.
Besides Johnny Cash.
Was he Antifa?
Yeah, that’s one weird looking dude. No ears, says he was 26, but looks more like about 14. Doesn’t look like he’s ever had to shave in his life. Weird!
Here’s the first hand account!!! Please pass along!

Langendorff interview: link
The purple paint on trees bordering one’s property in Texas is nothing new… I recall seeing purple marked trees more than two or so decades ago…
As for the Arby’s venison sandwiches: I read the other day that they let it be known that their venison is farm raised from somewhere in Asia or India, don’t remember where but it’s neither wild hunted nor American. Bon Apetit.
wonder if it was Aifika??
I’ve never tried that.
Last one I bought was a Mossberg 590A1 left handed model. Due to parent needing help with medical issues. I won’t be buying anything else for a very long time.
Gotta love the idiot talking heads on TV proclaiming the shooter was denied the right to own a gun so how could he have one. He was denied a permit to carry which means carrying concealed. He can only be denied owning weapons because of previous law problems such as prison, mental sickness, etc, Even then, if you are ok with killing 10 or 20 people, you might not care about breaking the gun law.
I am waiting for the other shoe to drop that may well show him as an Antifa crazy. If so, Govt will hide it as long as possible to keep from riling up the good guys.
It would seem that this event puts the antis in a bad position…
OTOH, a bad guy used a gun to kill.
OTOH, a good guy with a gun at the very least cut the action short, and possibly killed the bad guy, with a gun.
Which gun to they want to ban?
“…reduce the…weaponry…” of my Secret Sevice detail. Ya know, ‘cause guns don’t solve no problems.
Oh sure, the smartest guy in the room.
CNN (I know, fake news mostly) says Kelley got his Ruger AR from a sporting store. This means he lied on his 4473, but was still approved. Seriously, what is going on at the ATF?
It was a Texan with a close at hand long gun that stopped the killing.
Is was 50 years ago that over a 100 Texans with rifles in their vehicles used suppressive fire to prevent more killing by the clock tower shooter.
Good guys with guns are always the answer. When seconds count, the police where seven or eight minutes away.
I read a comment above about some law that guns can’t be taken into a church. This is not what I read on the internet when doing research on the subject. It said many churches made agreements with certain members to carry during sermons. Also mentioned was having a security person at the front door during all church meetings. Anyway, the time has come to carry whether or not a law is in place to allow it.
