EXCLUSIVE: 'Creepy, crazy and weird': Former classmates say Texas gunman
The Daily Mail ^ | 5 November, 2017 | Jenny Stanton

The Texas church shooter who mercilessly shot dead 26 people and injured 24 others was an 'outcast' who 'preached his atheism' online.

Former classmates say Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, who stormed First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs in Texas and opened fire on Sunday, was 'creepy', 'crazy' and 'weird'.

Patrick Boyce, who attended New Braunfels High School with the killer, told DailyMail.com: 'He had a kid or two, fairly normal, but kinda quiet and lately seemed depressed.

'He was the first atheist I met. He went Air Force after high school, got discharged but I don't know why.

'I was just shocked [to hear the news]. Still haven’t quite processed how he could have done that.'

Nina Rose Nava, who went to school with the gunman, wrote on Facebook: 'In (sic) in complete shock! I legit just deleted him off my fb cause I couldn't stand his post.

'He was always talking about how people who believe in God we're stupid and trying to preach his atheism'

Christopher Leo Longoria replied: 'I removed him off FB for those same reasons! He was being super nagtive (sic) all the timd (sic).'

Michael Goff added: 'He was weird but never that damn weird, always posting his atheist sh** like Nina wrote, but damn he always posted pics of him and his baby - crazy.'

Nava added to DailyMail.com: 'I went to school with him. We had a few conversations here and there. It's not something I expected from him.

'He was an outcast but not a loner. He was popular among other outcast. I haven't spoke to him since high school.'

Another former classmate, who asked to remain anonymous, told DailyMail.com: 'I grew up going to school with him... Always creeped me out and was different.'

Their are sick people out there. Christians, Jew, you better believe Muslims. And Atheists.

his atheism exposed his illness, it didn’t cause it ... he was sick his entire life ..... before he grasped onto his lack of faith.

I wish we had access to his Facebook page so that we could confirm this. The page was taken down very quickly.

Maybe it’s time to re-establish the 750,000 or so pysch beds we eliminated many decades ago. Releasing that many cuckoos into the public was not a good thing, imo.

Solless eyes on this one.
Also, I see the press picked an older photo of him without his no-fly beard.

You better believe they belong in cages and not in public. I’ve seen people that scares the crap out of me thinking that they are out and about.

51 years ago I worked as an attendant at a state mental hospital, nights, while going to college days. I was there for 3 years.....BEFORE, they loosed the nuts on society. It was a leftist ploy to help destroy America.

Yep. Already in progress.

“The Texas church madman was a disgraced Air Force veteran who was court-marshaled in 2012 after assaulting his wife and child, reports said.

Devin Patrick Kelley, who joined the military in 2010,was given a dishonorable discharge and slapped with 12 months of confinement in 2014 after his court marshaling, CBS News reported.

Agree it was done to hurt and divide us. Bitter fruits today. Will we make it a priority? Can we all a nut ‘nuts’ today without a lawsuit?
