Texas Church Shooter Was Antifa Member Who Vowed To Start Civil War

The gunman who shot up a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, is Devin Kelly, an Antifa member who vowed to start a civil war.

The gunman who opened fire inside a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, has been identified as Devin Kelley, an Antifa member who vowed to start a civil war by “targeting white conservative churches” and causing anarchy in the United States.

Wilson County Commissioner Albert Gamez Jr said that at least 27 people have been killed in the shooting, according to reports by the CNN and the BBC, with the confirmed death toll expected to climb in the coming hours.

Witnesses report they saw Devin Kelley walk into the Baptist Church in the small town 30 miles from San Antonio at 11:30am local time Sunday, according to KSAT-12.

Devin Kelley, who killed at least 27 people and injured many more, was one of two shooters in the church, according to eyewitnesses, who also report Kelley carried an Antifa flag and told the churchgoers “this is a communist revolution” before unloading on the congregation, reloading several times.

Sheriff Joe Tackitt confirmed to Wilson County News that there have been “multiple fatalities” and the shooter has been “taken down.”

Devin Kelley’s Facebook page stated that he was an atheist and his interests included “Civil and social rights” and “Civil rights” as well as endorsements for local Texan Democratic political candidates. His page also featured photos of several high powered weapons.

His Facebook page was taken down without explanation less than an hour after the shooting.

An eyewitness told CBS News that there was a heavy police presence on the road to the church, adding that they had seen severely injured people being airlifted from the area.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted to Twitter shortly after the mass shooting, saying: “Our prayers are with all who were harmed by this evil act. Our thanks to law enforcement for their response. More details from DPS soon.”

President Donald Trump has confirmed he is aware of the situation and said he was monitoring it from Japan.

      • RhiannonHR

        Actually, ANTIFA called for it to START on Nov. 4th,2017 but they would continue ALL day EVERY day until the Trump admin was demolished.

      • Claudia Weil

        This sounds like a conspiracy theory. You do realize that there are very few actual “members” of Antifa. Don’t use this as an excuse to target people just because you think they are “liberal” or something, and thus Antifa. Only crazy people shoot up a bunch of people. This guy was obviously crazy.

        • catherwood

          it is a theory at this point, but , based on what we do know about him, seems credible

          • Claudia Weil

            “We”? Tell me, are you an official who is involved with the investigation? Or are you just someone who posts “theories”?

        • darren ruff

          antifa is ISIS

          • Claudia Weil

            No, ISIS is a group associated with Muslim extremists. Antifa aren’t Muslim. Totally different groups. You need to read up on this if you want to understand world politics.

        Whatever his background, anyone who walks into a building and starts shooting innocent people is crazy. That’s not something normal people do. Whether he was antifa or NRA or whatever doesn’t really make a difference, he was obviously a nut.

        Hillary and Obama have multiple crimes to their names that should have landed them in jail, especially Hillary. ANTIFA is a terrorist group that has engaged in organized violence over the past few months. This killing by one of their members has everything to do with them.

            It is a fact. Go do the research yourself.
            If you never question the government, something is wrong with you. Is that how you live your life? Are you really such a bootlicker that whatever is told to you by those in power, you just nod and agree?
            You are a danger to this country, for you vote for the commies who wish to destroy it.

          • Claudia Weil

            Right, so NOW I’m a commie? Wow, you like to jump to some pretty far-fetched conclusions. No, not a commie. not ANTIFA, none of that. I’m a patriot who cares about the USA and hates to see so much misinformation and paranoia out there. The last thing we need is people being suspicious of anyone with a different political view. A lot of people have guns, and seem to be itching to use them on people they don’t know. This is a dangerous situation.

    People automatic ask was the shooter white or black. The same with the church. It does matter the color. This is humans we are killing. Old young ones. Got to watch out when you start messing with the LORDS people. Prayers for all involved. Yes the shooters also. They had problems really bad.

    So the murderer was a WHITE DEMOCRAT. That sure as hell messes up a lot of posts!

    • orly?

      Hmm? I thought democrats were all scared of guns? What gives?

    ANTIFA needs to be declared a terrorist organization, Let all conservative Christians start packing their guns to church. I know that next Sunday, I will have mine!

    It’s truly sad when Russian propaganda is so lazy they can’t even use a REAL photo to spread their manipulation to the weak-minded. That flag photo is not an Antifa USA photo.

    • orly?

      Next you’re going to say that some church goers in a small TX town wouldn’t identify a fake antifa flag while under gunfire!

    Christian churches, black and white Congregations, need to start allowing conceal carry from their membership to help protect the membership from so many being killed. Only a good guy with a GUN can stop such carnage.
