USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The Sutherland Springs Church Shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, was stopped on his murderous rampage by a local Texas man, as of yet unidentified.
Eyewitness state the local resident, now a hero, upon hearing the shots coming from the Sutherland Springs Church grabbed his weapon and confronted the deranged shooter.
As is typical in most of these shootings, when confronted by a good guy with a gun the shooter dropped his weapon and fled, but not before he was shot and wounded by our local hero.
In a video report from the scene, KENS 5 NEWS is reporting the suspect was confronted as he was leaving the church by the local man who opened fire on him, potentially leading to his death a few miles away, where the shooter crashed his getaway vehicle.
NRA’s Wayne Lapierre was right again when he said: “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
Antifa Connection?
In the hours following the horrible shooting, unconfirmed internet rumors are reporting that Devin Patrick Kelley was an Antifa supporter and favored a radical LBGTQ group.
And in related news, Democrat gun banners and Hollywood elite are already calling for more gun control:
Innocent people go to church on Sunday to honor their God, and while doing so, get shot in killed. What country? America. Why? Republicans.

I am praying that our lawmakers find the courage to face our nation’s gun violence problem. This must stop. #SutherlandSprings

Can you sleep tonight, colleagues, when the price of gun lobby goodwill is this – blood soaked church and school floors, city streets?

When will we decide that we can’t accept massacres in our places of worship, schools, or at concerts? When will we actually DO something?

No one ever suggests banning an automobile after a drunk driver kill a family. Also haven’t heard anything about banning large trucks so terrorist won’t kill people by running over them. Never heard anyone in Congress mention it once. Haw about banning all knives. Blaming the object is insane but who knows a sane liberal.
Gun grabbing democrats, or republicans, and or Hollywood elite, should first pray for the victims and families, then consider laws to prevent government cover-ups, and concentrate on deceit and lies, money laundering, bribes, etc. Now that is a novel idea, tell we the people the truth! Cover-ups and more cover-ups…..how long are we the people going to wait for the info on Las Vegas? Probably as long as we waited for the release of the JFK files. We cannot imagine if this church scenario happened in our community, how tragic! Our prayers!!
Handler is an idiot and looks to blame the Republicans for the sun coming up. That being said, this has NOTHING to do with gun control. The U.S. Air Force did not follow proper procedure and properly alert authorities of this nut jobs termination from the service..If they did, he would not have been able to buy any guns legally. If he had any or all guns prior to his discharge, he beat his wife and small children repeatedly. He was a Mental Health nut that needed to be locked up. I am sure people saw this and no one… Read more »
How many shooters from the past have been NRA members?
Does anyone have good honest numbers?
How many people die from guns each year?
How many die from illegal drivers?
How many die from drugs overdose?
It is impossible to take away guns from the people, just the honest people.
The anti Second Amendment elites, will use any and all situations where a firearm is discharged to portray a negative example of firearms use ownership by a citizen of our Republic. Elites believe they are the only persons worthy and able to own or have access to firearms. Motivation of this position is political and a sense of entitlement. This applies to all our rights enumerated by our Constitution. Some people are more deserving than others for protection and the ability to control ones destiny. We have come together and expose these Elites for the threat that they are to… Read more »
There are many here who say that Congress must act and with that I don’t disagree but simply passing the Reciprocal Carry Act does not address the issue. What we need is for people like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to stand up and put forth legislation to repeal in their entirety, including amendments, the National Firearms Act, which did nothing to reduce crime then or now, and the Gun Control Act of 1968 which was adopted almost word for word from the National Socialist Gun Control Act of 1938 from Germany. For more information on that see Aaron Zelman’s… Read more »
When we talk about “evil,” we tend to talk in vague metaphysical abstractions. I heard about this shooting while sitting In my local coffee house listening to a singer performing Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.” I was struck by the line, “I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.” Cash wrote that line because it was the most evil, senseless, reason he could think of for killing someone. Hearing that, it suddenly REALLY came home to me, that there are people out there who would do just that. Evil people are not just some philosophical abstraction; they… Read more »
Congress is correct, something must be done. It is time for the 50 sate concealed carry reciprocity act of 2017 ( HR 38 and S 446 ) be passed! Also the Gun free zones ( targets of opportunity ) must be abolished. It is high time Congress allows us to protect ourselves.
The shooter, Devin Patrick Kelly was court-martialed for assaulting his wife and their child. A judge sentenced him with a bad-conduct discharge, 12 months confinement in 2013. He was already forbidden – by law – from gun ownership.
He was stopped, incidentally, – not by law enforcement – but by a local gun owning citizen.
