WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The ex-wife of a gunman who killed dozens in a South Texas church shooting last week has said he subjected her to abuse and violence, and threatened to kill her and her entire family.
Devin Patrick Kelley opened fire at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, during a service on November 5, killing at least 26 people and wounding many more.
He shot himself to death with a handgun while fleeing after the mass shooting in the tiny Texas town.
Kelley's former wife Tessa Brennaman, 25, told CBS News in an interview that he 'had a lot of demons or hatred inside of him.
The former US Air Force airman pleaded guilty in 2013 to hitting, choking and kicking Tessa, and to fracturing her son's skull.
