Report: TX Gunman Escaped From Mental Health Facility In 2012
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/07/2017 | Amber Athey

Devin P. Kelley, the gunman who killed 26 people in a Texas church, reportedly escaped from a mental health facility in 2012.

According to Channel 2 Houston, Kelley was institutionalized while he was in the U.S. Air Force after being charged with assaulting his wife and baby stepson.

A 2012 police report shows that he escaped from the psychiatric hospital after making death threats against his superiors in the Air Force and trying to smuggle weapons onto the base where he was stationed.

Kelley escaped from Peak Behavioral Health Services, a facility in New Mexico, and was caught by police in El Paso, Texas on June 7, 2012.

A witness told police that Kelley “suffered from mental disorders and had plans to run to from Peak Behavioral Health Services” by purchasing a bus ticket to get out of the state.

Kelley “was a danger to himself and others as he had already been caught sneaking firearms onto Holloman Air Force base,” the witness stated. Kelley “was attempting to carry out death threats” on his superiors in the Air Force.

Run both to and from?

Mental disorders indeed, somewhere.

Guns and the NRA weren’t the problem. Failure to enforce the gun laws already on the books is the problem.

The Air Force is looking for some E-4 to be the scapegoat for this MEGAFUBAR.

We should start a count of how many laws the scumbag broke.

27 counts murder
illegal possession of a firearm
lying on a federal form
domestic assault on a minor
Domestic assault of a spouse
assault with intent to do great bodily harm on a minor
20 counts of attempted murder
using a firearm in city limits
speeding
Escape of a confined institution

Got to be 20 or 30 more felonies. Just one more would have stopped him.

Doesn’t matter. To crooked politicians, cracking down on law abiding gun owners is always the best solution.
