SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — The man who killed more than two dozen people at a Texas church in 2017 appeared to have been planning months before.
That’s according to testimony at a trial in a lawsuit alleging the Air Force failed to flag a conviction that might have prevented him from legally buying the gun used in the shooting.
Trial began Wednesday in a lawsuit against the federal government filed by survivors and families of victims of the shooting at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs.
Devin Patrick Kelley opened fire during a Sunday service there in November 2017 in the worst mass shooting in Texas history.
Kelley died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
