Langendorff was on his way to see his girlfriend and caught the end of the shootout.<\/p>\n<p>The shooter managed to get to his SUV and drive off. That was when Willeford asked Langendorff for assistance and the two managed to catch up to the shooter, even though he had a head start. During the chase the men raced at speeds up to 95 miles an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The chase ended after the shooter lost control of his vehicle and went off the road. Willeford held the SUV at gunpoint until the police arrived, about seven minutes later. The two did not approach the stopped car and simply kept a safe distance.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gufWXaljyII\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sutherland-shooting-showcases-local-heroes-ems-and-trauma-teams\" title=\"Sutherland Shooting Showcases Local Heroes, EMS and Trauma Teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Also: How to Use a Tourniquet in an Emergency<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cHe was just a member of the community, and whenever he came to my vehicle in distress with his weapon, he explained very quickly what happened and he got in the truck and I knew it was just time,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sutherland-shooting-showcases-local-heroes-ems-and-trauma-teams\" title=\"Sutherland Shooting Showcases Local Heroes, EMS and Trauma Teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he told KSAT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we were doing about 95 mph, going around traffic and everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEventually he came to kind of a slowdown and after that, we got within just a few feet of him and he got off the road \u2026 he just lost control and that\u2019s whenever I put the vehicle in park \u2026 the other gentleman jumped out and had his rifle drawn on him and he didn\u2019t move after that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With the police dispatched to the church there&#8217;s no doubt these two curbed the amount of pain and suffering in this tragedy.
