There are some benefits for Mr. Wilson by sending it to a GJ. This solidifies the fact it was justified and deters anyone from trying to file wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of the family or friends.

We all know it’s easy to armchair quarterback after an event and point out mistakes made. You could more than likely do that to one of Hockheim’s encounters. It is VERY easy for someone who spent a career doing security to point out errors, especially as said, this is a volunteer group of church members, not Seal Team Six.

That said, the only really critical mistake I believe was made was to allow the guy, dressed like he was, to be in with the congregation. They should have separated him and tried to make sure he was innocuous before letting him into the crowd.

BUT (BIG BUT), that is a tough task, even for experienced security personnel. They knew who he was, and since he had been there before, kinda let their guard down some and let him mingle, even in his state of dress.

Bottom line, once it started, I don’t think it could have been handled much better, even by a team of ‘professionals’.

AUSTIN, Texas (KEYE) - Governor Greg Abbott will present the Governor's Medal of Courage to the man who stopped a gunman in a deadly shooting at a church in North Texas last month.

From this article https://pluralist.com/gunman-opens-fire ... ed-deacon/

The congregant said the shooter was killed by a deacon, who is also a concealed carry instructor and a retired law enforcement office. He “shot the guy before he could fire a third time,” the witness said on Facebook.

Second parishioner reportedly has died.

And some really good comments in the press conference from the Lt Governor and Law Enforcement officials stating how having their own well-trained citizen security group prevented more lives from being taken

The parishioner who was shot was trying to draw from concealment. He made a couple of mistakes; letting the gunman see him drawing and standing still. To quote Clint Smith: "If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin, you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."
