Man Who Exchanged Fire With Texas Shooter: 'I Was Scared To Death'

The Sutherland Springs, Texas, resident who exchanged gunfire with the suspect in Sunday's mass shooting at a church insists he is not a hero, saying the he was "scared to death" during the encounter.

"I think my God, my Lord protected me and gave me the skills to do what needed to be done," Stephen Willeford, a former National Rifle Association instructor, tellsKHBS/KHOG television in Arkansas.

Willeford says his daughter alerted him to what sounded like shots being fired at the nearby First Baptist Church. That's when he said he got his rifle out of his safe.

    I agree. To overcome one's fear and do what is right is the definition of brave. So I guess that would make him a brave hero.
