Emily Garza – Devin Kelley Victims

Emily Garza was one of the victims of Devin Kelley’s Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooting.  She was 7-years-old and was just getting back from Sunday school.  Garza was sitting in the back row of the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs when Devin Kelley opened fire.  26 people were killed 20 people were injured.

In 2014, Devin Kelley was discharged from the U.S. Air Force

From 2010 to 2014, Kelley was a member of the U.S. Air Force.  In 2014, he was discharged after assaulting his wife and child.  On Monday, from Tokyo, President Donald Trump shared his belief that the shooting was caused by a mental health problem.  He called Kelley a very deranged individual and avoided blaming the incident on the nation’s lack of gun control.  Will these mass shootings ever stop?

Men chase down Devin Kelley

Johnnie Langendorff is being called a hero.  Him and an armed Sutherland Springs resident chased Devin Kelley as he left the church, preventing him from potentially shooting more people.  Kelly was later found dead in his vehicle.  The tweet below explains that mass shootings continue to occur on a consistent basis.  Will anything be done to prevent them?

The following tweet explains that President Trump did not call the shooting a gun issue.  Earlier this year, President Trump signed a bill that rolled back an Obama regulation that made it more difficult for people with mental illnesses to buy a gun.

Trump promised to revisit gun control after the deadly shooting in Las Vegas.  How many mass shootings will it take before changes are made? While some believe stricter gun laws must be passed, others argue that if the Sutherland Springs neighborhood who helped stop Kelley didn’t have a gun, Kelley would have killed more people.
