The gunman who killed at least 26 people in a church south of San Antonio was kicked out of the Air Force after cutting a plea deal in which he admitted to fracturing his stepson’s skull, the former head of Air Force prosecutors said Monday.

Devin Patrick Kelley faced at least five years in a military prison for attacking the baby and also his wife, the former top Air Force prosecutor, retired Col. Don Christensen, said.

An Air Force jury handed him a 12-month sentence in 2012, he said.

“He entered pleas of guilty to fracturing his son’s skull, his stepson’s skull, and to assaulting his wife. And as a result of that there really is no question about his guilt,” Christensen said. “He should not have been able to get a gun (after Kelly’s discharge from the service.) There is no way this man should have legally owned a gun based upon what he was convicted of.”

Thanks for posting that link.

That’s a fine home. This kid came from a privileged background.

I did read elsewhere that he and his wife lived in a separate home on that ranch. Probably a smaller home like a mobile home or something.
