Interview with Stephen Willeford, Sutherland Springs Texas ‘good guy with a gun’ (VIDEO)

By Chris Eger

NRA member, retired plumber, and former firearms instructor Stephen Willeford reached for his AR-15 Sunday morning and exchanged fire with the shooter at the First Baptist Church.
A neighbor to the church where most of the congregation were either killed or wounded during a scheduled morning service, Willeford, 55, talks to NRA TV in the above extended interview about his community and the horror that unfolded over the weekend and his response.
“When my daughter ran in and said the man was in tactical gear with a helmet and body armor — when I opened up the safe I pulled out an AR-15,” Willeford said. “AR-15 is much easier to handle and much easier to aim.”
Grabbing a handful of ammunition (“I was hearing shot after shot after shot and didn’t want to waste time loading a full magazine”) Willeford stuffed rounds into his mag while moving to the sound of the gunfire. He didn’t even take time to put shoes on.
“Those people were my friends,” says the exhausted looking Willeford, choking up. “Those people have known my family. Those people have been here for generations. I kept hearing those shots and I knew every shot might be representing another person getting hit
