Report: TX Gunman Escaped From Mental Health Facility In 2012
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/07/2017 | Amber Athey

Devin P. Kelley, the gunman who killed 26 people in a Texas church, reportedly escaped from a mental health facility in 2012.

According to Channel 2 Houston, Kelley was institutionalized while he was in the U.S. Air Force after being charged with assaulting his wife and baby stepson.

A 2012 police report shows that he escaped from the psychiatric hospital after making death threats against his superiors in the Air Force and trying to smuggle weapons onto the base where he was stationed.

Kelley escaped from Peak Behavioral Health Services, a facility in New Mexico, and was caught by police in El Paso, Texas on June 7, 2012.

A witness told police that Kelley “suffered from mental disorders and had plans to run to from Peak Behavioral Health Services” by purchasing a bus ticket to get out of the state.

Kelley “was a danger to himself and others as he had already been caught sneaking firearms onto Holloman Air Force base,” the witness stated. Kelley “was attempting to carry out death threats” on his superiors in the Air Force.

“Old school friends described Kelley, who lived in nearby New Braunfels, Texas, as a “creep” who made no secret of his anti-religious views.

Nina Rose Nava, who went to school with Kelley, said: “He was always talking about how people who believe in God were stupid and trying to preach his atheism.’...”

Well, thre’s the reason the second gal married him. It wasn’t for his looks or his charming personality.

He lied on his 4473. Several times. Mental health, felony conviction, domestic violence conviction, bad conduct discharge ... That's Perjury. A felony. He should go prison for that ... (Oh. Wait. That's OBE.)

His NICS check should have come back DENIED. Would have, if USAF hadn't screwed the pooch.

Back before Ian Anderson became a neutered , weaponless loony cat lady he wrote a song called I’m Your Gun.

One line sums it up: it’s not the gun that kills, but the man, behind...

Yes, but modern psychiatric medicine declared his type political prisoners long ago. The fraud known as psychiatric medicine, psychology, et al, is a travesty. An absolute travesty. Those quacks are why the TX shooter could do what he did, why we're inundated with homeless, etc.

Several counts of lying on a federal form. Multiple lies, multiple forms.

This is a result of the left closing most mental institutions and perverting the DSMV. The FREAKS are walking the streets.

Presumably this all happened during 0bama’s regime, in which traitors were called heroes, and all sorts of other insanity took place in the military.

Prison guards say the same. There are all kinds of stupid, mean and mental behind bars but then there are those who are demon possessed.

Wait. You mean Trump was right when he immediately said it was a mental health issue?

You mean, I had to listen to David Webb on patriot XM tell me he didn’t think so. (see ya David)

You’ve got Trump being right and everyone else being wrong. E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.

Again and again.

"As he exited the church, a local resident grabbed his gun and pursued the suspect, who dropped his weapon and fled the scene.

The suspect was later found dead inside his vehicle. Officials are unsure if he was shot by a resident or suffered a self inflicted gunshot wound, said Freeman Martin, regional director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The daughter of the church’s pastor was one of the victim’s killed in the shooting, her mother Sherri Pomeroy told CBS News via text message.

“My husband and I were ironically out of town in two different states. We lost our 14-year-old daughter today and many friends,” Pomeroy said Sunday.

Wasn’t very nice with animals either...

“He had a pit bull puppy that he kept tied up in the sun all day outside of his RV, she said. She also recalled an incident in which the police were called because the man had struck the dog in the head.

The police arrived and there was a standoff for approximately an hour, she said, in which her neighbor refused to come out of his trailer.

Records show Mr. Kelley was charged with cruelty to animals, a misdemeanor, in August 2014.”
