    The recruited scumbag killer in new york killed his victims as a an ISIS soldier for them.
    In the name of Allah.

    The dishonorably discharged scumbag killer in Texas killed because like many men who can't handle rejection, he went to his estranged wife's Church, where her parents worship as well as her, and shot up the church and parishoners, somevwhom he knew.
    He was also a declared 'devout' atheist who hated religion and Christians. He was only stopped by 2 others, one whom used their gun, to chase him away.

    So its not about trucks.
    It's not about guns.

    He was realy depraved.

    Cliff notes bolded..
    • Devin Patrick Kelley had a violent history and a disturbing history of dating teen girls
    • In 2012, Kelley was court-martialed for abusing his then wife Tessa Kelley and his infant stepson
    • A former Air Force chief prosecutor said that Kelley admitted to beating his son so severely that the boy's skull fractured
    • Kelley was sentenced to 12 months confinement and was reduced to the lowest rank possible
    • Soon after being released, he remarried to 19-year-old Danielle Lee Shields
    • The two moved to Colorado that year, when Kelley was arrested for beating their pet pit bull puppy
    • Authorities said Monday that the couple had become estranged sometime after moving in with Kelley's parents in New Braunfels, Texas earlier this year
    • He was also on bad terms with his wife's mother, Michelle Shields, who attended First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas
    • His mother-in-law was not at the church at the time of the massacre, but her mother was and died
    • One of Kelley's exes says she dated him in 2009, when he was 18 and she was 13
    • 'At the time I didn't think much into it being so young but now I realize that there's something off about someone who is 18 with someone who is 13,' the woman said

    New details about the Texas church shooter paint the picture of a menacing bully, who was prone to violent outbursts and had a disturbing interest in teen girls.

    Public records detail Devin Patrick Kelley's history of physical abuse - including arrests for animal cruelty and domestic violence.

    The domestic violence arrest stems from his previous marriage to Tessa K. Kelley, who he married in Texas in April 2011, while serving as a low-ranking airman in the Air Force.

    The two were living in New Mexico the following year when Kelley was court-martialed for abusing both his wife and his infant stepson.

    'He assaulted his stepson severely enough that he fractured his skull, and he also assaulted his wife,' Don Christensen, a retired colonel who was the chief prosecutor for the Air Force, told the New York Times. 'He pled to intentionally doing it.'

    In November 2012, a month after his wife filed for divorce, Kelley was sentenced to 12 months confinement and a reduction to the lowest rank.

    Two years later, after serving his time, he was discharged from the Air Force for bad conduct - a dismissal that usually precludes ex-servicemen from buying firearms.

    Kelley didn't waste much time after being released from military prison. In April 2014, then-23-year-old Kelley remarried to 19-year-old Danielle Lee Shields records back in Texas show.

    A few months after that, the couple appears to have moved to Colorado where records show Kelley registered to vote and had an address in a mobile home park.

    A neighbor in Kelley's old mobile home park told the New York Times that he only lived there a few months in 2014, but was impossible to forget.

    The woman named Susan said police were called to the mobile home park when Kelley was caught hitting his pit bull puppy. When police arrived at the park, Kelley refused to come out of his trailer, causing an hour-long standoff.

    Kelley was eventually arrested and given a deferred probationary sentenced and ordered to pay $368 in restitution. The case was dismissed in March 2016 when he completed his sentence. He moved away a few weeks later.

    It's unclear what the couple did after leaving the mobile home park, but they moved in with his parents in New Braunfels, Texas sometime this year.

    At some point after moving back to Texas, authorities say Kelley and his wife became estranged, though they haven't revealed why that happened. As of Monday, Danielle's Facebook profile still listed her relationship status as 'married' and photos on the account show pictures of two young kids - a baby girl and an older boy - who may or may not be Kelley's.

    Kelly was also on bad terms with his wife's mother, Michelle Shields, who was a member of the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs where the massacre took place on Sunday.

    At an afternoon press conference, police revealed that Kelley had 'expressed anger towards his mother-in-law' and sent her 'threatening texts'.

    Michelle wasn't present at the church on Sunday when the massacre unfolded, but her mother - Lula Woicinski White - was and is among the victims.

    Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin wouldn't go into further detail about the 'situation' between Kelley and his mother-in-law, but said the mass shooting stemmed from a domestic situation and was not racially or religiously motivated.

    Another disturbing aspect of Kelley's personality has also been revealed by a woman who claims to be one of his exes.

    Brittany Adcock, 22, told NBC News that she dated Kelley for two months in 2009, when he was 18 and she was just 13.

    'At the time I didn't think much into it being so young but now I realize that there's something off about someone who is 18 with someone who is 13,' she said.

    She said that after she dumped Kelley, he refused to let the relationship go and tried to get her back by any means necessary. That included offering her money to live with him and his wife as a topless maid.

    Sheriff Joe Tackitt of Wilson County described the gory scene inside the blood splattered church where the bodies of children and their parents were strewn across the pews.

    'Wherever you walked in the church, there was death,' he told the assembled local press on Monday.

    'It was just horrific,' he added. 'Words can't express what was there. It's hard enough to see adults, but when you see babies, little ones, I'm talking 3, 4, 5, 6 years old. 10 years old. It's just hard.'

    Tackitt said went officers went inside they saw pools of blood which led back towards the dead and dying parishioners. There was so much 'blood everywhere', it was hard to determine who was dead and who was still alive he said.

    Cont..

    Kelley walked into the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, dressed in black, tactical gear with a ballistics belt and an assault rifle, and began shooting Sunday morning.

    The attack only stopped when Kelley was confronted by local hero Stephen Willeford, 55, who shot him through a gap in his body armor as the gunman tried to leave the church. Kelley fled in his car, where he proceeded to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head

    The sheriff told the New York Times that Kelley had walked round the outside of the church first, firing rounds in, and killing two people, before he entered and opened fire on the church goers.

    A Good Samaritan intervened, shooting Kelley as he left the church. Kelley then got into his car and fled, as the hero bystander and another man chased him in another car. Police say Kelley called his father (Michael Kelley, a computer programmer and accountant) as he was driving away from the church, telling him he was shot and didn't think he was going to make it.

    The two men who pursued Kelley say he lost control of his car and crashed into a ditch. By the time police showed up on the scene, he was dead.


    He was found with three gunshot wounds, one self-inflicted to head; and two from armed citizen, one in the leg and one to the torso.

    The official cause of death is pending an autopsy, but officials believe Kelley may committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

    Police say the mass shooting was motivated by domestic violence, rather than terrorism or religious beliefs.

    'This was not racially motivated, it wasn't over religious beliefs,' Freeman Martin, a regional director with the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at a news briefing. 'There was a domestic situation going on within the family and the in-laws.'

    Of the 20 people that were hospitalized, 10 remain in critical condition, six are in stable condition, four are in serious condition and four have been released.

    Officials plan to release the identities of the victims as soon as their next of kin have been released.

    All of the bodies have been removed from the church and will undergo autopsies over the next several days.

    Investigators said they have also obtained video that was taken inside the church during the shooting.

    Police recovered three guns from the scene of the massacre - a Ruger .556 rifle left behind at the church and two handguns found in Kelley's car (a Glock 9m and a Ruger .22).

    The fact that Kelley was able to buy guns at all considering his negative discharge from the military is a question investigators have yet to answer.


    They say he did not have a handgun license, but in Texas and Colorado (where he previously lived) you don't need one to buy a firearm.

    Police discovered that Kelley bought four guns in the past four consecutive years, two of them in Colorado and two in Texas.

    At least 26 people were killed in the shooting, but the death toll is expected to climb, authorities say. Victims include a two-year-old girl and the 14-year-old adopted daughter of the pastor.

    Eight members of one family, including a eight-months-pregnant mother and three of her children were killed. The Connally Memorial Medical Center said 'multiple' victims are being treated.

    Former classmates described him as 'creepy', 'crazy' and an 'outcast' who had recently started preaching about atheism...

    You guys know this is Texas right?

    Never mind..... people obviously can't see a dead end when they are standing directly in front of one. Just look at how people argue with bliss every day. Talk of banning guns to Texans = dead end. Arguing with bliss = dead end. Same shit.

    Any questions?
