WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has known for at least two decades about failures to give military criminal history information to the FBI, including the type of information the Air Force didn't report about the Texas church gunman who had assaulted his wife and stepson while an airman.
The Air Force lapse in the Devin P. Kelley case, which is now under review by the Pentagon's inspector general, made it possible for him to buy guns before his attack Sunday at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Twenty-six people were killed, including multiple members of some families. About 20 other people were wounded.
In 2012, in addition to his conviction in the domestic violence case, Kelley had escaped from a mental health center, a Houston TV station reported Tuesday, citing police. The Air Force said federal privacy laws prohibited it from commenting on the report.
