Texas gunman motive ‘domestic,’ not racial or religious, official says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe gunman who murdered 26 people at a Texas church yesterday is believed to have been driven by a “domestic” dispute, an official says.
“This was not racially motivated, it wasn’t over religious beliefs. There was a domestic situation going on with the family and in-laws,” Freeman Martin, regional director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, tells a news conference.
“The suspect’s mother-in-law attended this church,” he says, adding that 26-year-old shooter Devin Patrick Kelley had sent “threatening texts” prior to the mass shooting.
