Texas Church Shooting Suspect Identified as Devin Kelley

Police identified 26-year-old Devin Kelley as the gunman behind a shooting that left at least 27 people dead in Texas on Sunday, The New York Times reported.

Shortly after the shooting, police sent a K9 unit to the gunman’s home and began searching for explosive devices, San Antonio Express-News reported.

While wearing full combat gear, Kelley entered First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas and attempted to flee the scene before dying in a neighboring county.

‘Men should be able to control themselves. This is a common argument against the Islamic hijab,’ he told his Facebook followers.

 

‘I totally agree, they should be able to control themselves, however facts show many don’t, this is why a hijab is necessary for women.’

    • HERO Johnnie Langendorff Fires Back at Sutherland Springs Shooter!

      Hero Johnnie Langendorf passed by the scene of the Sutherland Springs Church Shooting with his friend and shot at the perpetrator with his rifle, and then when the shooter started running away Johnnie Langendorff chased him down in his truck!!

      This is the perfect example of why our 2nd Ammendment Rights are vital and need to be protected!

      • Authorities know who killer is, because police are searching for the explosives at perpetrator home in Texas. (seems he was from out of state, but had home in Texas).
        They still have not given the name of the shooter.

        • Authorities have preliminarily identified Texas church shooter as white male in his mid-20s from outside San Antonio – reports

          • UPDATE:
            UPDATE: Shooting suspect Devin Patrick Kelley (26) is a former U.S. Air Force member who served from 2010 to 2014. He reportedly used AR 15.

            Shooter was dressed in all black, was shot by a civilian outside the church. He then got into his car, crashed and was found dead.

    • I was wrong.
      USA is f-up society these days.

      Males are vile.
      Just full of blind resentment, rising from self-aggrandizing and lust for power, not leaving even a gran of humanity within, neither a gran of reason.
      Females never commit such mass murders.
      …

      • Really?. I see that somehow you do not see lust for power and self-aggrandizing in females (ex. Ms. Clinton, Ms Wynne). And it is funny that you say that females never commit such mass murder, many of mass murders, of genocides wouldn’t have been committed if females did not supported males. Females do not differs much from males and they can be as vicious, as bad as the males.
        As for USA as fuck up society — strangely, that society is much freer than Canadian, or some European societies. Societies were you can not openly tell what is going on because media and politicians tell you that the evidence of your eyes is wrong. Societies were head of states and women politicians can lie to explain their self aggrandizing and be excused, because of their family name or because they are women..

        • Thank you your answer means I won’t have to tell her that her attitude us what has caused the fucked up societies in all Western Nation.

          • I am male.
            You are either afraid or unable to conider facts impassionately.

            99% of rapes, murders, and terrorism are committed by males.
            do you want males’ violent crime to be lesser, or you want it to be bigger?
            if you want it to be lesser, then effectively you want males to become more similar to females.

            humans are violent apes, and males are in charge of violence.
            but it shouldn’t remain like this forever.
            there are animals with zero level of in-species violence, why should we be worse than coalas or golden fishes?

            future belongs to females, and our task is to start selecting, protecting and promoting the best ones.
            that won’t be Hillary certainly.
            …

  3. The political situation is so heightened and so confusing right now that this could be absolutely anything. It could just be a dumb violent guy with a gun who thinks that Trump is really Hitler…it could be an enraged racist. It’s getting very crazy these days…
