Devin Patrick Kelley had already left a trail of sickening violence in his wake before opening fire on the congregation of the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas. He had earlier been accused of abusing both pets and loved ones — and was expelled from the Air Force after a court-martial over him abusing his wife and fracturing his stepchild's skull!

He had earlier been accused of abusing both pets and loved ones — and was expelled from the Air Force after a court-martial over him abusing his wife and fracturing his stepchild's skull!
In a tragic twist, the discharge should have prevented Kelley from being able to purchase the firearms that he used on Sunday, Nov. 5. "Federal law prohibited him from buying or possessing firearms after this conviction," confirmed Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek — but a bungling bureaucrat didn't include that conviction on his military record!

As a result, Kelley was able to purchase his Ruger AR-556 rifle in 2016 — which was then left behind in the church as he fled heroic Stephen Willeford, who had rushed over to the church with his own rifle. Now, in the wake of
one of America's most horrific mass shootings, the Air Force has announced a "complete review of the Kelley case."
