This Firearms Instructor Is Reportedly The Hero Who Killed Texas Church Gunman With Single Head Shot

  • On Sunday, during what would otherwise likely be a quiet worship service at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, an armed gunman entered the church and after talking to a man for several minutes in the corner, pulled out a shotgun and opened fire.

    The gunman, as was witnessed in recorded video of the entire incident, barely managed to get off more than a few rounds before an armed security guard standing 50 feet away from the shooter drew his pistol and fired a single shot, instantly killing the gunman with what appeared to be a perfectly placed head shot.

    Late Sunday night, reports began to emerge via social media that the hero who managed to severely mitigate the loss of life inside the church by quickly killing the gunman is reportedly identified as a local man by the name of Jack Wilson, who also happens to reportedly be a long-time, certified firearms instructor.

    “Seeing posts starting to come in that the hero who stopped the Texas church shooter is Jack Wilson, the owner of On Target Shooting Academy. From ~50ft he drew his weapon under pressure and fired one shot to the terrorist’s swiftly moving head in just 2 seconds. Hero,” a tweet posted by Caleb Hill with a picture of the reported security guard.

    Going by numerous reports on social media, the hero Texan has a great reputation in the community and possibly runs a firearms training school. There are also reports from reported locals that he’s a retired FBI employee, though that hasn’t yet been confirmed either.

    Wilson, if he was the hero who saved the day, managed to confidently and safely end the gunman’s life with one precision shot to the armed gunman’s head, which he is currently being highly praised for on social media.

    A Facebook profile picture of Jack Wilson indicates that he owns a company called On Target LTC, LLC.

    No major media outlets have confirmed that Jack Wilson, as pictured above, is confirmed as the hero who ended the shooting, though social media reports are rapidly being spread that he is, in fact, the individual in the video who took the gunman down.

    If this information should change, we will update the post accordingly.

    Unfortunately, one innocent life was lost in the church shooting, however, without the hero’s quick actions, presumably many more would have followed.

    Update 8:18am : Heavy.com is reporting that Jack Wilson is running for county commissioner in Hood County, TX. He reportedly posted a status update on a Facebook page for his campaign saying he “to take out an active shooter in church.”

    Update 8:21am: Jack Wilson has responded on Facebook to the situation.

    “I just want to thank all who have sent their prayers and comments on the events of today. The events at West Freeway Church of Christ put me in a position that I would hope no one would have to be in, but evil exist and I had to take out an active shooter in church.
    I’m thankful to GOD that I have been blessed with the ability and desire to serve him in the role of head of security at the church. I am very sad in the loss of two dear friends and brothers in CHRIST, but evil does exist in this world and I and other members are not going to allow evil to succeed. Please pray for all the members and their families in this time. Thank you for your prayers and understanding.”
