| Sutherland Springs: Mass shooters often have domestic violence trait (Video) |
| 2017-11-09 |
| [USA Today] Domestic violence is a trait often shared by U.S. mass shooters, whose rage can evolve into public manifestations like the horrific scene inside the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas. Devin Patrick Kelley’s history of domestic violence ‐ including 2012 allegations of assaulting his former wife and infant stepson, and a 2014 case of abusing his now-current wife ‐ is a recognized precursor of lethal ends as batterers fight to maintain control, experts say. Kelley on Sunday killed 25 people, including a woman who was pregnant, and wounded another 20 at the church in the small, rural community about 30 miles outside San Antonio. His mother-in-law, whom officials say he had sent threatening text messages, had attended the church. She wasn't there that day. Neither was his wife. |

| #1 And it comes out now that they had a camera set up to record last Sunday's service for the church's FB page. Just when I thought there wasn't anything more horrible about this -- the massacre was filmed. I feel sorry for the law enforcement techs who had to watch the tape. Hopefully, it will NEVER be released to the public. Probably won't ever have to be, since there is no need for a trial. Link to Daily Mail. |
