Jessika Edwards told CNN that she and Devin Kelley worked together at Hollomon Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 to 2012. Kelley was released from the military on a bad-conduct discharge in 2014 after serving time for assaulting his wife and stepson.
Edwards said that when the two made contact on Facebook in 2014, Kelley said he had been purchasing dogs through Craigslist and then using them for target practice.
While in the Air Force, she said, Kelley was preoccupied with mass murders and made jokes about killing people. ..."
In 2014, the same year he allegedly made the gruesome claim to Edwards, Kelley was cited for cruelty to animals in El Paso County, Colorado.
Multiple witnesses said they saw Kelley beating a husky with his fists before dragging the dog away by the neck, The Denver Post reported.
The county sheriff who responded to the incident noted back then that it seemed like Kelley was underfeeding the dog.
A woman who was his neighbor at the time told The New York Times that she remembers Kelley keeping his dog tied up outside in the sun with no water.
Kelley also had a history of domestic violence. The assaults that resulted in his Air Force discharge included striking his toddler stepson severely enough that he fractured his skull, according to the Times.
And the Sutherland Springs massacre occurred after Kelley had sent threatening texts to his mother-in-law, who sometimes attended that church.
Experts say that both cruelty to animals and domestic violence can be predictors of other forms of violence.

Anyone and I mean ANYONE that would abuse and torture animals should get a one way ticket to the asylum never to see the light of day again. These people are defective....like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, the list goes on.
