You'll learn:
What happened during the incident and how it was prevented.
Key lessons for church security teams to consider in light of this event.

Whether you're part of a church security team or want to keep your congregation safe, this video provides actionable insights and a reminder of the importance of vigilance.
Thanks Keith for posting this. I would never imagine it would happen in TX.
Based on the info you gave us, he was arrested about a half a mile from the church on Las Vegas Trail that you also mentioned in the video. It was one of the closest churches to his location.
I live an exit away from there. Thanks for the info, I had no idea this had even happened.
Thanks for putting this out Keith I really do appreciate all that you do for churches in our communities. I am the team leader at our church for our armed security team. And I so much appreciate the information that we get from you most of our team members watch your videos as well and are well informed and it gives me great peace and joy knowing that they are prepared and know what to do. We have some of the best people on our team and they're very dedicated and we train as much as we can and follow some of your training videos and such. You are a blessing to churches all around America.
Thank you
As someone who lives in DFW, I had no idea about this until you posted it. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the continuing information and leadership among Chrisitans. Can you expand on the companies which do NOT cover church security team members, and whether that will include individuals taking that charge in very small congretations.
He had posted a video on it. I believe the companies suggested for use was , 1) Right to Bear. If you're in New York then (2) Attorneys on Retainer. However decide for yourself. I currently use Right to Bear.
Great video! Thanks for the solid advice. Keep up the very important work.
I live in Texas. I didn't hear about this. Thanks for sharing Keith.
I feel for those who can’t afford a subscription to get conservative news, when they are prodded to please subscribe.
White Settlement was the scene of another church attack in 2020, which drove improvements in many church safety teams. When an APD active shooter expert trained my safety team, one key point he made is that ushers must be part of the safety team. In the 2020 White Settlement attack, ushers clearly failed in allowing a man wearing a hoodie overcoat to come in. What's worse is that he was a known disturbed subject the church had been giving food to. He had become upset when they did not want to give him money instead. Still, they let him in that front door.
Under his coat was a Mossberg Shockwave 12g. Only a skilled marksman safety team member with a Sig 357 stopped him from continuing to kill. One father was killed in front of his family due to his 4:00 IWB carry, as the gunman spotted him leaning forward and reaching back to draw. I went to AIWB after seeing that video.
Heads up, eyes open, scales fallen, pray for God's hedge around us, use the discernment He gives us, protect your womenfolk.
That incident is in the video above.
Yes indeed. There was another version of that vid out there with good cropping. Shows more clearly that poor dad trying to draw from 4:00. Let me see if I can find it for you.
