By our actions – we are known. Two Americans stands tall. What we know so far:
The bad guy who murdered 25+ people , including the 14 year old daughter of the Pastor, is Devin Patrick Kelley, a 26-year-old white male, of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio,
Besides those murdered, many more are hospitalized and some in serious condition.
Kelly was discharged from the military related to charges of abuse to his wife and child.
Kelly knew people who were members of the church.
- Â Kelly was as found dead in a crashed car after a brief chase following the shooting
- Was dressed in all black, tactical gear with a ballistics belt and multiple weapons in his car
- Fired outside the church, then went into the church and continued to fire
- Resident near the church intervened, and knocked the gun out of Kelley’s hands, then chased him in his car
- Kelley showed off an AR-15 rifle on Facebook recently
- Served in the military in ‘cargo, demand and supply and distribution’ but was dishonorably discharged
- Was married and believed to have taught a Bible studies at Kingsville First Baptist Church
On Sunday, Kelley was spotted moments before the shooting, at around 11.20am, at a Valero gas station, ‘dressed in all black, tactical gear, wearing a ballistics belt’.
In a press conference, Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin, said Kelley had then ‘crossed the street to the church, exited his vehicle and began firing on the church. He moved to the right side of the church and continued to fire, and entered the church and continued to fire.’
But as he left the church, the unnamed local hero risked his life to stop him.
‘A local resident grabbed his rifle and engaged the suspect,’ Martin said. ‘The suspect dropped his rifle, which was a Ruger assault type rifle, and fled from the church.
He and another local citizen pursued the subject at that time.’
