Firearms instructor took out gunman at Texas church service in just seconds

White Settlement, Texas • A man who trained others in his Texas church to use guns to protect the congregation fatally shot a gunman seconds after he opened fire during a service, the Texas attorney general said Monday.

Jack Wilson fired a single shot, quickly ending the attack that killed two people at the West Freeway Church of Christ in the Fort Worth-area town of White Settlement. More than 240 congregants were in the church at the time.

Wilson’s bio on Facebook listed him as a former Hood County reserve deputy and a firearms instructor.
