The hero who stopped a Texas church shooter with one shot mere seconds after he opened fire during Sunday service, killing two, is a Second Amendment advocate, former gun-range owner, and vocal Trump supporter named Jack Wilson.

Wilson, who is running a campaign for county commissioner, made it known on his campaign's Facebook page early Monday that he was the one who took down the shotgun-wielding murderer, saying "evil exists and I had to take out an active shooter in church."

The Facebook post, which cannot be embedded here due to its privacy settings, reads:

"I just want to thank all who have sent their prayers and comments on the events of today. The events at West Freeway Church of Christ put me in a position that I would hope no one would have to be in, but evil exists and I had to take out an active shooter in church.



I'm thankful to GOD that I have been blessed with the ability and desire to serve him in the role of head of security at the church. I am very sad in the loss of two dear friends and brothers in CHRIST, but evil does exist in this world and I and other members are not going to allow evil to succeed. Please pray for all the members and their families in this time. Thank you for your prayers and understanding."

Wilson also indicated in the post's comments section that the weapon he used to stop the intruder was a "SIG P229-357 SIG."

Other recent posts on the Facebook page show Wilson to be a staunch conservative and vocal supporter of President Trump:

Another recent post says:

"There once was a time the President was honored, police were respected, newborns were treasured, & vets were revered. Let's bring that back..."

In another photo on his Facebook page from December 15, Wilson can be seen laying wreaths on the graves of hundreds of deceased veterans while wearing an American flag hat and a shirt emblazoned with the words of the Constitution:

Wilson also owned a gun range and shop called On Target Firearms Training Academy, which he ran for 21 years before it burned down in 2016.

According to Heavy:

In a Facebook post, Wilson explained that he has been a "small Business owner for over 30 years. Worked for 18 years negotiating proposals and contracts for major defense company."



He added that he also served as a Hood County Reserve Deputy Sheriff from 1980-1986. "Presently a TCOLE Instructor and CHL/LTC Instructor. I continue to work with Federal, State and local levels of law enforcement," he wrote.



"My wife of 51 years and I have raised our family in Granbury/Hood County for the last 42 years. We are the proud parents of 3 daughters and blessed grandparents of 10 and 1 great. I feel I have the knowledge and passion to move this growing county into a place all residents can be proud to call home," he added.

Wilson has been praised for his quick thinking and superb accuracy after he downed the active shooter with a single shot from across the room just three seconds after the attacker opened fire during communion, killing two.

Disrn will not show the full video due to its disturbing nature, but in this heavily edited version of the video, the third shot that can be heard is Wilson's:

Texas DPS Director Joeff Williams praised Wilson as a hero who saved countless lives with his quick actions.
