SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas man who saw a local exchanging gunfire with the assailant who had just massacred 26 people at a small town church said he had no hesitation in pursuing the gunman because he needed to be stopped.

"That's it. I mean that's the bottom line, he needed to be stopped," Johnnie Langendorff told Reuters TV. "He was stopped and he's not going to hurt anyone else ever again."
