Here we have people who carried their weapons into church, and thanks to them, they took down a man who came into a service and shot two other parishioners. He was killed before he could shoot anyone else. In effect, these parishioners who killed the gunman saved lives. I wonder how far this would have gone if he wasn't stopped in his tracks.

A man shot two people during a church service in White Settlement, Texas, on Sunday before two armed parishioners shot and killed him, White Settlement Police Chief J.P. Bevering said.
One person who was shot at the West Freeway Church of Christ died and another victim has life-threatening injuries, Bevering said.
Bevering praised the two "heroic" churchgoers who returned fire and killed the suspect. He said there is no ongoing threat to the incident.
"Our hearts go out to the victims and families of those killed in the evil act of violence that occurred at the West Freeway Church of Christ," he said. "Places of worship are meant to be sacred, and I am grateful for the church members who acted quickly to take down the shooter and help prevent further loss of life."

I have no idea. I grew up with firearms in the house, even as a kid. Military family. People were very open about having them, but it's like something happened and the sanity that existed many years ago is gone, and people have lost their marbles.
One thing I've noticed, relative to this or anything else, is there's this giant loss of respect that used to exist between generations and among people in general.

In many states, to get a permit, you have to take a firearm education and proficiency test, both practical and written, which you must pass if you qualify to get your firearm permit. One good thing about that is people are trained and familiar as to how to handle their firearms (something outlaws don't do).
This is one of many instances where armed customers or clients have been able to take out a dangerous gunman, heading off great collateral damage, injuries and deaths.

So you don’t believe in the judicial system? Maybe those people who were shot were responsible for raping the shooter 5 years ago….but we’ll never know because some redneck decided to play God, yup guns are a wonderful thing.

I read that the shooter was trying to steal the offerings and was confronted by a good guy with a gun who was too slow. He's the one who died. Fortunately, he had a backup.

Depending on the state, yes you can kill someone in self defense and get away with. Still doesn’t make it moral or correct, you should run away instead and call the police.
If you’re trapped and have nowhere to run then you should beg with your killer and try to reason with them. If this doesn’t work then you should try and knock your attacker out cold but don’t kill them, then you can call the police and have them arrested.
