Hero Gunman Who Stopped The Texas Church Massacre Speaks Out

I’m still in complete disbelief over the tragedy in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Survivors are now speaking out about their horrific ordeal.

Based on what those survivors have said, it has become clear that if it were not for Stephen Willeford, everyone in that church would have died.

Stephen is speaking out.

‘I’m no hero, my God gave me the skills to do what needed to be done’

Wow. I’m speechless…

According to this:

The brave gunman who stopped the Texas church shooter has broken his silence to tearfully say he doesn’t consider himself a hero, but he was just doing what needed to be done.

Stephen Willeford, 55, embraced Johnnie Langendorff, 27, in an emotional hug on Monday night at the vigil for the victims of the tragic shooting at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs.

On Sunday Willeford confronted Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, as he left the church, wounding him, before he and Langendorff chased him in a car as he fled.
During the 95mph car chase, Kelley lost control of his vehicle and ran off the road, before shooting himself in the head. He called his father shortly before to say he had been shot and didn’t think he was going to make it.

Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin said Willeford ran out his home barefoot with his rifle and ‘engaged the suspect’.

He has since been praised as a hero by churchgoers and police, but, speaking out for the first time since the morning tragedy, told KHBS he doesn’t think of himself like that.

‘I’m no hero. All I want to stress today, is the people at that church, they’re friends of mine, they’re family, and every time I heard a shot I knew that probably represented a life.

“We need to stop him”

I know he’s humble about it, but this man is an ABSOLUTE hero.
