(Devin Patrick Kelley (pictured) walked into the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, dressed in full combat gear, and began shooting, according to local law enforcement sources)

he 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.'

She said she moved away from the area while she was in junior high and lost touch with a lot of people.

However, Kelley recently commented on one of her Facebook posts.

'I said I just want to move back to Texas,' she said. 'And he said something along the lines of "Texas isn't any better". Pretty much said he didn't like Texas.

'I think he had one kid, she/he is still a baby. He was married but I don't know to who. It's crazy to think I grew up with him. Same town. Same school. Same classes.

'He was different in school and creeped me out but never would I have thought he would do such a horrific thing.'

A former friend wrote on Facebook: 'It's scary to know this psychopath has been in my house. I can't believe I was friends with this guy and I literally would stay the night at his place when we were kids.'

He added: 'I ended up distancing myself from him in high school after he got in an argument with me in school and he tried punching me several times. Dude was crazy man.'

Cord Eubank Brown wrote on social media: 'I cannot believe this. I went to high school with this maniac.

'There were people I knew who stayed away from this guy for many reasons, which all make sense now. He just requested me on facebook recently.'

Kelley walked into the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs on Sunday, dressed in black, tactical gear with a ballistics belt and an assault rifle, and began shooting, according to local law enforcement sources.

Kelley of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio, was shot by Stephen Willeford, 55, before he climbed in an SUV to flee the scene, a local resident told DailyMail.com.

Another local resident, Johnnie Langendorff, who had witnessed the confrontation refused to let the shooter get away. Both he and Willeford, a local plumber, jumped in his truck and gave chase.

In a Facebook post, Langendorff's girlfriend Summer Caddel described how the pair had 'jumped in my boyfriend's truck and they chased that sick b*****d down in pursuit until the cops could catch up. He was able to run the shooter off of the road on 539!'

As they approached a sharp curve in the road, near the 307 and 539, Kelley appeared to lose control and his car swerved off the road.

Kelley was already dead when they found him, having succumb to blood loss from the gunshot wound he suffered at the church.

Cops discovered multiple weapons and possible explosives in his vehicle.

San Antonio police also raided Kelley's home on Sunday evening, with K9 and bomb squad units.

Kelley, who was married, had recently posted a photo of an AR-15 style gun on his Facebook page with the caption: 'She's a bad b***h.'

A LinkedIn account which appears to be Kelley's states that he joined the US Air Force after graduating New Braunfels High School in 2009.

An Air Force official said the gunman was court-martialed in 2012 and discharged two years later.

Spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said Kelley was court-martialed on one count of assault on his spouse and another count of assault on their child. He received a bad conduct discharge, 12 months' confinement and a reduction in rank.

Stefanek also said Kelley served in Logistics Readiness at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge.

Kelley volunteered as a teacher for Bible studies at Kingsville First Baptist Church, according to his LinkedIn which shows him posing which a young child.

He was married to Danielle Shields, and they appear to have a child together. She was previously a teacher at the First Baptist Church.

Kelley lived at his parents’ home with his wife and child and neighbor Mark Moravitz told ABC News he would sometimes hear gunshots coming from near that house late at night.

The gunman's mother-in-law, Michelle Shields, also appears to have been a parishioner at the church and was friends on social media with the pastor's wife.

It is not clear whether they were at the church at the time of the shooting.

Local law enforcement say the gunman had a relatively clean criminal record, with just a traffic offenses in recent years.

The names of the victims are now emerging and include a mother-of-four and her two young daughters, a 14-year-old pastor's daughter and Sunday's stand-in preacher, his wife, and pregnant daughter-in-law.

The first victim to be identified was Annabelle Pomeroy, whose father - First Baptist Church Pastor Frank Pomeroy - had been out of town during the attack. The grieving dad told ABC he's lost 'one beautiful girl, and a 'special child.'

Bryan Holcombe had been standing in for Frank Pomeroy when Kelley opened fire. Witnesses say he was the first victim to be struck by the shooter's gunfire.

'Bryan was filling in,' the witness, who did not want to be named, told DailyMail.com. 'He was walking up to the pulpit when he was shot in the back.'

He was killed, alongside his wife of 25 years, Sunday school teacher Karla Holcombe, as well as their pregnant daughter-in-law Crystal, local residents reported.

'The family is just devastated,' the witness added.

The couple ran a canvas repair shop before retiring and had attended the church for 25 years.

Mother-of-four Joann Ward and three of her children were also shot. Family have since told the Dallas News that Joann and two of her daughters, six-year-old Brooke and eight-year-old Emily have died.

Ward's six-year-old stepson Rylan, who was shot four times, is still in hospital after undergoing emergency surgery. The mom's eldest daughter Rihanna, nine, had the glasses shot off her face but escaped injury by hiding under a pew as shots rang out.

The victims ranged in age from five to 72, with two killed outside the church, 23 killed inside, and one person who died after medical transport, officials said.

And 34-year-old Amanda Mosel told MySA that her 13-year-old goddaughter was killed during the shooting. She said she was sad she skipped church this morning, but she normally attends that sermon. 'It's a small, tight-knit church,' she said.

Many of the dead remained inside the small rural church Sunday evening, as crime scene investigators worked to reconstruct the scene.

Authorities declined to officially name any of the deceased victims on Sunday evening, as they worked to secure the crime scene and notify victims' families.

'We don't know names of any of the victims at this time because we're still trying to work the crime scene,' said Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt.

Residents of the community gathered for an emotional candlelight vigil on Sunday night as the names of the victims began to emerge.

Two heroic locals have been praised for stopping the worst mass shooting in Texas which left at least 27 dead.

Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, was leaving First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs after he opened fire on parishioners during mass when Stephen Willeford, 55, confronted him.

Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin said Willeford, a keen biker, had 'grabbed his rifle and engaged the suspect.'

A local resident told DailyMail.com that Willeford, who attends a different church, was first alerted to the shooting when his daughter called him saying there was a man in body armor gunning down church goers.

He grabbed his gun and bravely headed down to confront the killer.

The local said that while Willeford has no military experience, he is an excellent shot, and when he came face to face with Kelley, he didn't hesitate; he shot in between Kelley's body armor, hitting him in his side.

The 26-year-old had dropped his Ruger assault rifle and climbed in an SUV to flee the scene.

He said that Kelley had taken a hostage in the passenger seat as he fled.

But another local resident, Johnnie Langendorff, who had witnessed the confrontation refused to let the shooter get away. Both he and Willeford, a local plumber, jumped in his truck and gave chase.

In a Facebook post, Langendorff's girlfriend Summer Caddel described how the pair had 'jumped in my boyfriend's truck and they chased that sick b*****d down in pursuit until the cops could catch up. He was able to run the shooter off of the road on 539!'

Langendorff told KSAT 12 that he'd been speeding at 95mph, while on the phone to dispatch, while Willeford kept his rifle trained on the gunman's car.

As they approached a sharp curve in the road, near the 307 and 539, he said Kelley appeared to lose control and his car swerved off the road.

'That's when I put the truck in park,' he said. 'The other gentleman jumped out, and had his rifle on him. He didn't move after that.'

Caddel added that Kelley died a few feet from her boyfriend.

The local, who is familiar with the heroes, said that Willeford made sure the passenger Kelley had taken hostage was on the ground out of the way when they approached the car.

But he claims that Kelley was already dead when they found him, having succumb to blood loss from the gunshot wound he suffered at the church.

Martin confirmed that police had found Kelley dead, saying that: 'We are not sure if it was self inflicted or if he was shot by a local resident.'


Poster Comment:

Atheism is a disese of the mind. This killer was a hedonist who wanted to kill innocent believers of Jesus Christ. The putrid mass murderer is enjoying all the comforts of hell while the believers are in paradise.

Had the bastard not been shot dead he should have had a very speedy trial and an execution by hanging in front of the courthouse.(2 images)

Good article... Thanks for posting.

But it's a damn shame that we have to get our info from a British rag...

At the top of the hour 60 minutes ago, the ABC Radio FakeNews reporterette Cheri Preston summed up the end of this rampage by saying this:

"....he was followed by several witnesses and later found dead in his car."

NO MENTION of the fact that cops were nowhere around when this nut started shooting and that he was stopped ONLY because an ARMED CITIZEN engaged him outside the church with his firearm and shot the crazy lunatic. If not for that ARMED CITIZEN, more would have died and been wounded.

Also no mention of the FACT that the gun laws in place FAILED because he should have been barred from buying or owning a gun, yet some bureaucrat failed to enter him into that database after his military felony conviction.

ABC, like the rest, is Fake News.

CONNECTING THE DOTS:

Where you find Antifa you'll most likely find militant Atheists. AS IN THIS CASE. These lunatics are filled with hate.

NOTE: This Antifa-Atheist (who could also be one more Deep-State asset) was dishonorably discharged, but NOT ONLY used an AR, but actually brazenly POSTS it on FB.

Does this make any sense?

The perp also supposedly "taught Bible study" according to the suddenly subversive Drudge, who ignored all the OTHER data out there. Like the perp posting the Antifa flag captured in a pre-scrubbed FB screenshot in video below...

Moreover, a militant Atheist does NOT "teach Bible study" unless it's for recon purposes.

Yes, there are many vloggers out there, but this one presents his findings in a logical and methodical manner info that the Fake MSM refuses to report:

Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.

Yes. And now so is Drudge.

NO MENTION of the fact that cops were nowhere around when this nut started shooting and that he was stopped ONLY because an ARMED CITIZEN engaged him outside the church with his firearm and shot the crazy lunatic. If not for that ARMED CITIZEN, more would have died and been wounded.

NO MENTION, because it obviously does not fit the Liberal MSM/Deep State narrative.

Also no mention of the FACT that the gun laws in place FAILED because he should have been barred from buying or owning a gun, yet some bureaucrat failed to enter him into that database after his military felony conviction.

Frankly, this is VERY suspicious...

As I'd mentioned, the Antifa perp (if he's not actually a Deep State asset, as Antifa might actually be) brazenly posted his AR on Facebook, so it's clear he didn't fear authorities. THAT alone makes this suspicious.

And as in every case, Facebook swoops in and scrubs the subversive-Leftist-BLM-Muzzie background.

Anyone here consider the very plausible/probable suspicion that FB = DS Asset??

Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.

I agree that the perp was very likely Antifa. I've seen one report where he was on anti-psych drugs as well.

He probably posted photos of his gun because he was a crazed idiot, and unfortunately no one apparently connected the dots that he wasn't legally allowed to own that gun. I don't know if his photos were viewable by the general public or just friends, but even if public at present the government usually isn't exactly known for its' efficiency in stopping crime based upon social media posts.

And as far as his teaching VBS. I had a friend in the past who had become a militant atheist, but many years before that had taught a Bible study as well. We don't know when he became an Atheist, and we don't know the circumstances as to why he was teaching a Bible study years ago. For all we know, some negative experience he had with the church where the VBS took place might have made him go off the deep end and become an Atheist.

Most of the really angry militant Atheists that I have met have had some negative experience either with their own past religious life or with someone they know who is deeply religious. Their Atheism isn't some "scientific" Carl Sagan style Atheism, it is the actively angry and hateful Atheism of a God- hater.
