USA Today op-ed: It was �terrifying� that Texas churchgoers were armed
USA Today is being criticized for publishing an opinion piece on Wednesday arguing it�s �terrifying� that some Texas churchgoers were armed when Jack Wilson jumped into action and killed a mass shooter before he could shoot anyone else.
Wilson, a firearms instructor who was a volunteer member of the church's security team, has been widely praised for his life-saving response, but Arizona Republic columnist Elvia Diaz found problems with the situation.
The piece, �Armed, even in church: Texas shooting is about a lot more than Jack Wilson's heroism,� was published with the disclaimer that the views are the author's and do not reflect USA Today�s leadership.
Diaz called Wilson a hero before claiming "unfortunately" the �split-second heroism has been turned into a PR tool by gun advocates.�
�We know nothing about the at least six other parishioners who also appeared to draw their handgun� and that's terrifying,� Diaz wrote.
Diaz admitted that Wilson saved lives with a single shot and �other gun-wielding parishioners were ready just in case� he failed, but criticized why the churchgoers were armed in the first place.
