On Monday January 13th, 2020, Texas Governor Greg Abbott will present the Governor's Medal of Courage to Deacon Jack Wilson of the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, near Fort Worth.
Deacon Wilson, who is the head of security for that church put an end to a viscous attack on the Congregation by shooting the attacker with a single shot to the head. The attacker, identified as 43-year-old Keith Thomas Kinnunen, a career criminal who was prohibited from possessing a firearm, killed two members of the Congregation Deacon Anton Wallace and Richard White before he was in turn killed by Wilson.
Wilson is a firearms instructor who has trained many of the congregants to carry a concealed handgun and he also trained the church's security team. No less than seven members of the church were armed at the time of the attack. Due to Wilson's determined application of defensive shooting principals and his need to protect the flock, Wilson prevented further loss of life.
