Two people have been praised for their “heroic” actions after they shot and killed a gunman seconds after he opened fire on churchgoers in a Texas Church on Sunday.

The unnamed men, who police said are volunteer security guards at the church, returned fire on the gunman after he began shooting at parishioners at the West Freeway Church of Christ in the city of White Settlement, roughly eight miles west of Fort Worth.
