Mass shooting at Texas church shocks nation
In Sutherland Springs Texas a gunman killed more than two dozen worshippers, including an 18 month old, amid a domestic dispute. Investigators and officials say Devin Patrick Kelley 26 had a prior Air Force conviction that should have blocked gun purchase but was not entered into a national database. An Air Force review parallels the case as questions rise about background checks and firearm eligibility. Reuters reports mourners gathered for victims at a vigil.
