I wonder how many of the good folks here are willin'. The military has problems with it and sometimes police departments have problems with it. The "it" is the fact that just because you're armed don't mean that you the will or the huevos to pull the trigger if the occasion calls for it to be pulled. I know everybody here considers themselves widowmakers, heartbreakers and lifetakers and there are truly some here, but most are not. But there are lots of folks here who talk about it, but who have never been confronted by the issue of whether to shoot or not shoot and take a human life. I would hate to bet my life on whether a bunch of the folks here would pull the trigger or not.
"SECURITY GUARD ALSO
DISTRACTED KILLER ARROYO
The Tyler Morning Telegraph has learned the identity of a second armed civilian who was in the line of fire of a heavily armed man clad in body armor who fired on the Smith County Courthouse with a semi-automatic assault rifle last week.
Witnesses reported to the newspaper last Thursday that an un-identified man pulled up behind the courthouse in a silver colored 1990s Chevrolet Caprice Classic and exited into a defensive position with his weapon drawn and pointed in the direction of David Hernandez Ar-royo Sr.
After a newspaper photographer caught the man and his vehicle on camera during the aftermath of the shooting, the newspaper tried identifying the man.
The Morning Telegraph learned the man was Michael Mosley, 42, of Winona, a security officer with the Southwestern Security Services Inc., stationed in the U.S. Attorney's Office in downtown Tyler.
Mosley is certified by the Texas Department of Public Safety as an armed security guard. The DPS Web site lists his license is in good standing.
When showed the photograph, Mosley confirmed it was him and his vehicle in the picture.
"Yes that's me and that's my car," he said.
Mosley refused to talk to the newspaper in detail, but did make a brief statement on Wednesday.
"I am no hero. God watched over me and protected me that day. I am praying for all the families involved and that is all I have to say," he said.
After repeated phone calls to a Southwestern Securities office in Houston, Joseph Morales, a supervisor for the company, told the Morning Telegraph his officer did not fire his gun last week.
"According to him, he did not fire his weapon on that day," Morales said.
However, at least one eyewitness believes Mosley was another deterrent during the tragedy."

Me, It's intresting why he did not fire his weapon, but climbed back into his car and drove off. He had no responsibility to intervene. Neither did Mark Wilson. A Brave Man died that day, but when he got to Heaven, everbody there and in Tyler Texas knew he was willin'. I bet some guys from the Alamo where there to greet him.
