Texas Church Shooter Identified as Devin Patrick Kelley

Posted on 11/05/2017 3:11:44 PM PST by RoosterRedux

The identity of the alleged assailant in the Texas Church shooting –that led to the death of over 20 individuals and injuries to dozens more– has been released and his name is Devin Patrick Kelley, who according to the NY Times is from nearby Comal County, Texas, which is roughly 30 mies north of San Antonio.

According to crowd-sourced (and therefore unverified) Everipedia, here’s what is currently being said about Kelley. He graduated from New Braunfels High School (which just over 30 miles away from Sutherland Springs) and he served in the US Air Force.

Little is known about the Kelly’s motivation, but he was killed after a brief chase with local authorities that he led into Guadalupe County, which is adjacent to Wilson County’s Sutherland Springs where massacre took place. It is still unclear if he was killed by police or took his own life.

CNN reports that Wilson County Commissioner Albert Gamez Jr revealed that t least 27 people have been killed in the shooting, but the death toll is expected to climb.” One of the victims was the 14 year-old daughter of church paster Frank Pomeroy.

You know enough about guns to know that Dishonorable Discharge is one of the questions they ask when buying a gun from an FFL licensed dealer.

He must have bought it second hand.

Dressed in black seals the deal for me. This is going to get very interesting, perhaps get Antifa outlawed as a terrorist group. Which it is.

Nothing much on that site since Jan. 2017, though. Seems to be located mostly in Boston. I wonder if there are local groups or something.

At the risk of sounding crazy here but it’s seems lately whenever some Democrat is in trouble, in this case the Obama/Clinton cabal, something like this happens and *wham* they’re off the front page. There has been no more coverage of the Las Vegas Massacre. 34 people dead in a single week. God Almighty.

The sage advice of my mom included this gem, "Never try to rationalize the thoughts or actions of irrational people."

Even if a motive is ascertained, we may never really understand why he did what he did. Same comments appy to many others committing these deranged acts.

The timing seems awfully convenient, doesn’t it?

I still want law enforcement to find out what the DNC O’Keefe sting target (can’t remember the name right now) meant when he said they get the mentally ill to “do (their) shit” for them. He had already said that the unions would do violent stuff for them. So what kind of “shit” would be so violent that even the union thugs wouldn’t do it, so they had to get mentally ill people to do it.

I’d really like law enforcement to get to the bottom of that. The timing of these shootings is always just a little too “coincidental”.

If that is him then the question on FakeBook as to why he shaved his beard makes sense. He answered "Long story."

I believe that jihadis shave their beards before a "martyrdom" re terrorist operation.

Other reports say that he was dishonorably discharged from the AF after being court martialed.

Okay, I tried 3 times to copy the photo, but could not for some reason; he apparently did not shave beard, if the photo is very recent.

“programmed killer.”

With the Vegas shooting, I was thinking “Manchurian Candidate” - “programmed killer”. Maybe this is, too. Maybe there’ll be a bunch of these in the near future.

The person identified by the sheriffs office is a twenty six year old....not this older person. That’s the point

On a screen grab of his FB page before it was taken down someone asks him why he shaved his beard and he answered " Long story."

If true, of course.

Much of the initial info in these cases turns out to be false.

There’s no such thing as ‘’coincidence.’’ There is something behind this. Something big.
