Who Is Devin Kelley, the Texas Church Shooter? The gunman who turned a Texas church into a shooting gallery had a turbulent and violent past, including a court-martial from the Air Force for fracturing his baby stepson's skull, an animal cruelty arrest - and a habit of harassing ex-girlfriends.

"He was very sick in the head," Katy Landry, a former girlfriend of Devin Patrick Kelley, told NBC News.

Kelley, 26, arrived at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs on Sunday ready for war, wearing black tactical gear and a ballistics vest and toting what authorities described as an "assault-type rifle." He opened fire, killing 26 people, at least a dozen of them children.

Twisted Texas church gunman Devin Kelley forced a girl aged 13 to pose naked for him and then took her virginity.

Brittany Adcock, now 22, says the paedophile’s death has finally brought an end to him stalking, tormenting and trying to bribe her.

She also revealed the man she has called a “monster” asked her to move in with him to be a topless maid.

He also boasted of filming his mum and sister with a secret camera he rigged up in the family bathroom.


Kelley murdered 26 people at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, in the US, on Sunday.

He was 18 when he approached Brittany at a shopping centre.

He asked for her number and he quickly turned their friendship sexual.

She said: “It wasn’t long after my 13th birthday but it didn’t deter him despite him being a man. Devin would beg to take pictures of me naked – to please him, I agreed.

“I was so naive. He was a lot older than me and I was bowled over an older guy would show interest in me.

“He took about a dozen pictures and then held them over me for the rest of his life.” Kelley pressured her into sex when she was still 13.

Brittany said: “Devin took my virginity. It was at my mother’s house. It was just awful when I look back.”

She ended the relationship but he pursued her – and continued to harass her over the years.

Brittany said: “One of the worst things was just after he married his second wife three years ago. He said he would take care of me on condition that I live with them as his topless maid.” The last time she heard from him was six months ago when he texted her a photo of a topless girl and asked if it was her.

Brittany also said Kelley set up a fake profile on Facebook to talk to her.

Kelley, 26, took his own life after his gun rampage. Brittany, from San Antonio, Texas, said: “He was a monster. The world is a better place now he is gone... I now know he was a paedophile. He used me to fulfil his sick kicks.”

She thinks Kelley became a “ticking timebomb” after being kicked out of the military after he was court-martialed by the US Air Force in 2012 for attacking his first wife and breaking his stepson’s skull.
