Good evening. Im jeff glor in Sutherland Springs, texas. And this is our western edition. And behind me is the scene of another mass shooting. It didnt happen in a big city like orlando or las vegas. The targets this time were worshipers in their smalltown church. This was the scene just after the attack. Investigators say the suspect wanted to kill everyone in the church. 26 were killed, ranging in age from 18 months to 77 years. 20 others were wounded, ten in critical condition. Police believe the gunman, 26yearold devin kelley, took his own life after being chased by armed bystanders. He had received a bad conduct discharge from the air force for domestic assault, and cbs news has learned a mistake by the service may have allowed him to buy his weapons. We have a team of correspondents covering this. We begin with the moments after the shooting. Somebody ran in there and started shooting everybody. Glor cell phone video shows the victims and the chaos that spilled on to the front lawn of the First Baptist church after the suspect, 26yearold devin kelley, went on his horrific spree.

Some of the equipment had blood on them, gloves with blood on them, a deceased person right there, right in front. Glor around 11 20 sunday morning, kelley, dressed in black tactical gear, was spotted at a gas station across from the church. He drove over, got out, and began firing with a ruger artype rifle. He went inside and continued to fire, shooting dozens. As he left, a neighbor, steven wilford, confronted and shot kelley, who dropped his weapon and fled in an s. U. V. A car chase ensued that ended when the suspect ran off the road and crashed. He was found dead inside his car, possibly from a self inflicted gunshot wound. Im no hero. Glor Steven Williford heard the shots from his home, ran out without shoes on, an began shooting at kelley. Every time i heard a shot, i knew that probably represented a life. I was scared to death. Glor Freeman Martin is with the Texas Department of public safety. We know during that pursuit, the suspect used his cell phone to notify his father that he had been shot and didnt think he was going to make it. Glor today, f. B. I. Agents scoured Church Property for evidence. Three firearms were recovered, including two handguns and the rifle used at the scene. Investigators believe the incidents stem from a domestic dispute.

As senseless as this tragedy was, our sweet belle would not have been able to deal with r sing so much family yesterday. Glor kelley bought at least two guns after passing background checks, but the terms of his discharge should have prevented that. David martin on what went wrong. Reporter the air force admitted today its office of epecial investigations apparently failed to report kelleys name to the National Criminal Information Center after he plead guilty to two counts of Domestic Violence in 2013. Because his name did not appear in the database, kelley was able to walk into a gun shop in san antonio last year and buy the semiautomatic rifle police have identified as the weapon used to kill 26 people. When he was convicted, that should have stopped him from ontting a gun. Reporter retired colonel Don Christenson was formerly the air forces top prosecutor. Or he should not have had a gun. Because one the maximum punishment was more than a year, and two, it was Domestic Violence. Reporter he kicked and pulled the hair of his then wife. S also pleaded guilty to assaulting his stepson by striking him on the head and body with as for likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm. Five other counts of Domestic Violence including pointing a gaded gun at his wife, were withdrawn as part of his guilty plea. He was sentenced to a year in prison and a bad conduct discharge, leaving the air force after he got out in 2014. She air force will conduct an investigation, but it appears the fatal mistake of failing to enter kelleys name into the xitabase occurred at Holloman Air Force base in new mexico where he was stationed at the time of his courtmartial.
