Does your church have armed security? If not, you might want to think about it.

A church in Burnet County, Texas on Sunday released a statement on a thwarted potential terror attack on their church.

Here is the statement from the church.

And a post from the head pastor, Kyle Byrd:

This is a tiny charismatic church in a tiny Texas town with a couple of security dudes who have probably been itching for this moment from the time they signed up to do security.

They acted quickly, confronted the dude, saw the other dude carrying a rifle, and opened fire, scaring them away.

The church member told deputies he had confronted two suspicious men outside the church, and one of them presented a rifle. The church member allegedly fired multiple rounds, causing both men to enter a white minivan and flee the scene, driving northbound on U.S. 281.

There are no known injuries at this time.

The Lampasas Police Department said it has called in additional staff and supervision to patrol the city and churches.

‘We have coordinated with other local law enforcement agencies to be on high alert and ready to deter or respond immediately to any incidents that might occur,’ the department said.
