A report published late on Sunday night identified the man who allegedly used a firearm on Sunday to stop an armed attacker at West Freeway Church of Christ in Texas as 71-year-old Jack Wilson.

Heavy.com, which specializes in collecting hard to find information about trending news stories, first identified Wilson as the man who was allegedly responsible for preventing the shooting in White Settlement from being significantly worse.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) tweeted out a link to Heavy.com’s report on Wilson, which noted that Wilson “is a former reserve deputy sheriff who was the long-time owner of a firearms training academy.”
