The Department of Defense Office of The Inspector General revealed in an investigative report Thursday the U.S. Air Force (USAF) failed to submit the Sutherland Spring, Texas, shooter’s criminal information into the FBI database four separate times.

“Specifically, we determined that the USAF had four opportunities to collect and submit Kelley’s fingerprints to the FBI CJIS Division and two opportunities to submit his final disposition report to the FBI CJIS Division, as required, but never did so,” the report says.

Gunman Devin Kelley murdered 26 and injured 20 others, including infants, in November 2017 at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, following a shooting rampage. Kelley was subsequently shot twice, by nearby resident Stephen Willeford, as he left the church to flee into his SUV. Kelley was later found dead along with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. (RELATED: Texas Hero Who Confronted Shooter Matched Killer’s Firepo...

It was later discovered Kelley purchased his firearms legally but should have been prohibited from doing so, as he was found guilty in 2012 Military court of assaulting his then-wife Tessa Brennaman and fracturing his stepson’s skull. (RELATED: Texas Church Shooter Threatened Family Before Going On A ...

According to the OIG’s report, the USAF failed to submit Kelley’s fingerprints and final disposition report to the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. This information would have been included in the FBI databases after Kelley was convicted of a crime of domestic violence by a USAF General Court-Martial.
