Texas church shooting leaves many dead
BBC ^ | 11/05/17 | BBC

Posted on 11/05/2017 12:08:31 PM PST by Simon Green

At least 27 people have died after a gunman opened fire at a church in Texas during Sunday services.

The attack happened at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs in Wilson County.

A police commissioner at the scene confirmed that at least 27 people had died. Several others are reported to be injured.

The San Antonio FBI branch said its agents had been deployed, and there was no indication of the gunman's motive.

The FBI also said that while only one shooter was reported, it was looking into other possibilities.

Local ABC affiliate KSAT 12 reported the gunman entered the church at around 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT). It also said he had been killed in the aftermath.

Photos and video from the scene showed the area taped off by local law enforcement.

A number of helicopters have arrived to transport the wounded, KSAT 12 reporter Max Massey said.

Texas governor Greg Abbott said: "Our prayers are with all who were harmed by this evil act. Our thanks to law enforcement for their response."

He said more details would be released by the Texas Department of Public Safety shortly.

We won’t have final numbers until probably a few more hours.”

Meaning one or more of the critically wounded aren't expected to make it.

“Test Board” would put interesting convos up on the speaker in the test center for all to hear. They knew the #’s to bring up that were most interesting. Like you said hookers,drug dealers etc.
The techs that worked the brokerage houses always seem to make good buys back then. Don’t know why they did so well ??
Cant do that as easily now unless you have a T bird to break them out but back then you knew which prs went to who’s desk.
When the telco got involved with them wire taps were a trip also.
When they went to loop extenders in the xbox we had a few boxes in Broward and Dade that when you opened the door these thing would fall out there were so many.
Clipped on to a few of those but didn’t understand Spanish.
Those were fun times.

In the 80s you could hear phone conversations over the scanner. Not intentional but they’d just be picked up. All sorts of “hey, honey, I have to work late... hey, baby, I’ll be over shortly” type stuff. Once, the DA was planning a men’s weekend with various county officials. They had hired female entertainment and were discussing, uh, menu prices.

Devin P. Kelley

https://everipedia.org/wiki/devin-kelley-1/

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/05/us/church-shooting-texas.html

Two law enforcement sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation, identified the gunman as Devin P. Kelley, 26.

Mr. Cuellar, who said he was briefed by law enforcement authorities, said the gunman came from Comal County, which is northeast of San Antonio.

“He went there, he walked in, started shooting people and then took off” to Guadalupe County, he said.

That’s interesting. They sure didn’t follow him home. Wonder why they sit on making public ID?

Fox News reporting that ABC News is reporting the shooter is/was white male, in his 20s, from Comal County TX.

Now they are talking about PTSD or was he radicalized?

“Or just the “deep state” FBI, CIA marxists installed by Obama trying to foment a race war so totalitarian government will be “forced” to suspend the constitution. “

You have it right. The left & islam are at WAR with the United States.
They are trying to bring this country to CRISIS (See Yuri Bezmenov) through terrorism and violence so they can eventually ‘take over’

I’m convinced that the cop-killings and terrorist attacks that happened during the last years of the O’muslim regime were being run out of the white house.

Kelley apparently died following a short police pursuit. It was not immediately clear whether he was killed by officers or if his wounds were self-inflicted

A veteran. So, that's where the "full gear" comes in. He's dead and is burning in hell right now. Too bad, we won't know the why of all this.
