Did a good guy with a gun just save the day again?
It looks like so.
This is a developing story and we’ll continue to track it but this one hits especially close to home.
Because we know the “good guy”.
This just happened last night and details are still coming in but we’ll tell you what we know right now.
The “good guy” is Jason Nelson who just so happens to be the CEO of one of our partners, WholeCows.
I love what they’re doing over at WholeCows…
…and I also love his Twitter profile.
US Marine.
Retired Soldier.
And then it gets funny: “2x Prom Attendee”.
Love it, dude has a sense of humor.
But what happened last night is no laughing matter.
Here’s what Jason posted to Twitter:
Last night I was forced to engage with a violent man to protect women & children, and myself.
The outcome of that interaction was the worst a person would want, & the last possible resort.
We grieve for the family of the victims, & the deceased perpetrator.
We will work closely…— Jason “Storm Chaser” Nelson (@RealJasonNelson) July 15, 2023

Last night I was forced to engage with a violent man to protect women & children, and myself.
The outcome of that interaction was the worst a person would want, & the last possible resort.
We grieve for the family of the victims, & the deceased perpetrator.
We will work closely w/police to ensure a fair legal outcome, & will have no further statements at this time.
I am taking a break from social media, and would appreciate prayers for my family as we navigate this difficult period.
Thank you, Storm
As Jason writes, he is working closely with police to ensure a fair legal outcome.
We want to see a fair legal outcome as well, so while we don’t know all the details yet, it looks like a “good guy” with a gun may have just saved the day yet again.
And this occurred in Texas, imagine that.
Crisis averted because a good guy was carrying?
Here are more details as shared by Local KWTX:
A man is dead after police say a bystander shot and killed him when he heard three women calling for help inside a room at Hotel Indigo on 211 Clay Ave. The shooter cooperated with police and was not arrested.
Police say it started around 3 a.m. when a man staying at the hotel heard people yelling for help in the hallway.
He found a room where a man was in a fight with three women. Police say in a press release, the bystander tried to help, but it upset the “original aggressor”.
The original aggressor attacked the bystander, which prompted the bystander to fire one shot at the original aggressor.
Police and emergency crews were called. When they arrived on scene they performed life saving measures, transported the original aggressor to the hospital where he later died.
One of the women involved had a minor injury.
Police say the bystander cooperated with their investigation and was not arrested.
