Breaking – Church Shooter Identified, First Photo Released…
Citizens Free Press ^ | 12/30/19

Posted on 12/30/2019 10:51:29 AM PST by Enlightened1

Keith Thomas Kinnunen has been identified as the gunman in the shooting at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, on December 29 that left two people dead. Kinnunen, 43, was fatally shot by the church’s head of security.

 

MedStar spokeswoman Macara Trusty confirmed that one person died at the scene of the shooting, and one person died en route to the hospital. Hospital officials confirmed that one of these victims was the shooter. The third victim was transported to a hospital in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead by White Settlement police chief J.P. Bevering.

 

One victim was identified as Deacon Anton “Tony” Wallace. He was 64. The second victim was identified as Rich White by KTXS reporter Daniela Ibarra.

 

While the deceased gunman was born in Kansas on August 26, 1976, and voter registration records show that he was living in Medina County, Ohio. He also spent time living in Tucson, Arizona, where he also has a criminal record.

 

According to BoxRec.com, Kinnunen was a boxer in 2004 while living in Fort Worth, Texas. Records show that the middle weight division boxer only fought in two bouts. He lost by KO in October 2004, but won his other match by a KO in November of the same year.

 

Before moving to Texas, Kinnunen spent several years living in Tucson, Arizona, where he was arrested multiple times. He was found guilty in 1998 of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. In 2000, he was convicted in Arizona of driving without a license. In 2004, Kinnunen was arrested in Pima, Arizona, on a disorderly conduct charge, but it was dismissed.

Looks bald as hood comes off.>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yep. The bullet exit pushed the hood off.There was spray too.

There is also a muzzle flash to the perp’s front indicating a second shot, likely from a snub nosed .357 mag or greater revolver. They have big powder flashes than can leave you seeing spots for half an hour.I’d say the perp took Wilson’s .45 cal bullet to the head with a second round taking him somewhere in his body, likely center mass. The perp. died before he hit the floor IMHO.

Despite his previous arrests, Kinnunen was not on any sort of “watch” list said Matthew Desarno, special agent in charge of the FBI Dallas office.

Arrested while photographing an oil depot, while illegally armed with a shotgun. Like the Boston bombers, the FBI isn't interested.

Now, if he were a tea party member, or a Trump supporter, they'd be watching him 24/7.

Even for someone trained, that was a hell of a shot on a target that was moving. I'd bet he was aiming for center of mass, but it hit the suspects head.☺

Just another violent transient with substance abuse problems, either mental health problems or he was there to rob the collection plate (or both).

Given the fake hair and beard, I think his intent was armed robbery.

Regular range time shooting in all conditions over a long time makes a difference. I had a Colt Python .357 magnum 4 inch bbl; i could hit a 12 inch round steel target all six rounds at 1 hundred yards, single action, but that was when I was practicing every week when i was young, with no one shooting back. Wilson had a pin point focus of mind.Or he couldn't have made that shot.I don't think it was luck.

Coulter’s Law has been updated: the longer it takes for the shooter to be identified, the more likely he is a Democrat

Agreed.

Drug use will make that happen.Open the door to it.
Like you I do not believe it was a human being that was dispatched. The human had left some time ago.

“I’d bet he was aiming for center of mass, but it hit the suspects head.”

I had the same thought. Not to take anything away from the guy (who apparently is a firearm instructor) but I would assume he’d be shooting for center mass also especially if he has training. He may have just hit a foot high...though that surely got the job done.

Sounds like a wannabe terrorist scoping out targets.

Was he a climate apocalypse loonie wanting to blow up an oil refinery?

after shooting the first two victims, his turn to the rest of the congregation would have been a killing spree rivaling the most deadly shootings.

Texans that carry prevented much more death. Prayers for the families of the two victims...
