The investigation into the Texas Church Shooting is raising Big Questions about how the gunman was able to buy his weapon. The United States air force made a mistake by not reporting the results of kelleys 2012 courtmarti courtmartial. His conviction on two counts of Domestic Assault should ahave barred him from buying the rifle used in the massacre. Investigators are also closer to learning kelleys motive for killing 26 worshipers during sunday service. They say just before the massacre kelley sent threatening messages to his church member, his motherinlaw. People gathered for a vij form those killed. Among the crowd were the two men who chased kelley from the scene. Johnny langendorff hugged Stephen Willeford, who shot kelley. This morning, hes sharing his story. Jeff glor will bring us that in just a second. First, david martin is at the pentagon where the air force is reviewing how it handled misreporting kelleys criminal past. Reporter good morning. Air force officials are required to enter the names of all Domestic Violence offenders into a National Database that would prevent them from purchasing firearms. But in Devin Kelleys case, that did not happen. Air force courtmartial documents from 2013 show devin kelley pleaded guilty to striking choking, hitting and pulling the hair of his then wife on two separate occasions. As part of his guilty plea, five other counts of Domestic Violence including pointing a loaded gun at his wife were withdrawn. He also pleaded guilty to striking his young stepson on the head and body with a force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm. When he was convicted of that, should have stopped him from getting a gun. Reporter this retired colonel was the air forces top prosecutor. He says kelley hit his stepson so hard, he fractured the boys skull. He should not have had a gun because, one, the maximum punishment was more than a year and, two, it involved Domestic Violence. Reporter according to Law Enforcement source, kelley purchased a rugger ar rifle like this one in april 2016 at a san antonio gun shop. In december 2014, the same year he received a bad conduct discharge, kelley bought a glock 9 millimeter at this store in colorado springs. Until we have approval, we will not transfer a firearm to a person. Reporter this is the stores owner. He says he relies on the National Database to screen his customers. Now hes left wondering how the system broke down. You never want to sell something to somebody whos going to commit any force of crime, let alone a mass murder like this. Reporter kelley had other runins with the law as well. In 2014, he was cited for animal cruelty after witnesses saw him beating a dog with his fist. That charge was ultimately dismissed. Norah. Disturbing details. David, thank you. Stephen willeford who shot devin kelley said he was scared to death during the ordeal. Jeff glor is 30 miles southeast of san antonio, jeff, good morning. Reporter good morning. Last night police said they recovered 15 30round capacity magazines at the scene, all of them were spent. One man may have prevented the suspect from firing even more bullets. Stephen willeford, who ran out of his house barefoot, shot at the gunman and forced him to flee. This morning, he is being called add hero. Im no hero. I am not. I think my god, my lord protected me and gave me the skills to do what needed to be done. And i just wish i could have gotten there faster. Reporter Stephen Willeford is friends with many of those who attend First Baptist church so every shot he heard sunday morning he says likely represented the life of someone he knew. We exchanged gunfire. I know i hit him. I dont know where i hit him. Reporter after the gun battle, the shooter, devin kelley, fled the scene. Willeford in pursuit. During the chase, the 26yearold suspect called his father to say he didnt think he was going to make it. According to willeford, the suspects car flipped off the road. By the time police arrived, kelley was dead. He sustained three gunshot wounds. Two gunshot wounds were from the armed citizen and he had a third gunshot wound consistent with being selfinflicted. Somebody ran in there and started shooting everybody reporter this cell phone video shows the chaos that spilled on to the front lawn of the Church Minutes after the shooting spree. Theres a dead body right there. Reporter the suspect was estranged from his current wife, danielle shields. His motherinlaw, a member of the church, received threatening texts from him but was not there at the time of the shooting. There are many ways that he could have taken care of the motherinlaw without coming with 15 loaded magazines and Assault Rifle to a church. I think he came here with the purpose. Reporter among the dead was the shooters grandmother in law, 71yearold lulu white. On monday, deputies blocked the entrance to the last place kelley lived. A large house registered to his parents about 30 miles northeast of san on tony. He worked as an overnight Security Guard at this resort in new braunfels, texas. The manager says the day before the shoot, he left work early, complaining of a headache. We thought he just didnt show up for work on sunday and then about 5 30, my Maintenance Manager said, have you not been watching the news, and i turned it on and thats when we found out about him. Reporter investigators did recover three of the suspects guns. Two of them were purchased in san antonio, including that ruger ar556 rifle. Another handgun was bought at that gun shop in colorado springs. This morning, we know the names of nearly all 26 People Killed in the shooting. A pregnant woman and her unborn child are among the dead. The oldest person killed was 77 years old. Michelle miller is also here in sou Sutherland Springs with a look at the victims. Nearly half of the people kill wred were from just two families, an unfathomable loss. Nearly every Single Person who died in that church was part of a Larger Community bonded by faith. If you start thinking about who these people in your life would be that would be taken all at one time like that, its nome comprehensible. Reporter the Holcomb Family lost nine members in all. Brians son mark and his daughter noah. Crystal holcomb, her unborn child and three of the couples children, emily, meg and greg, also died. Earl seasongood is a close friend. Theyre not lost and theyre not gone. Their last breath here, their next breath in heaven. So theyre with the lord himself. We laughed together, we cried together and we worshiped together. Reporter in addition to the loss of their congregation, sherri polmeroy and the pastuto will bury their daughter, 14yearold annabelle. He talk about forgiveness. If you believe, you can get out. Reporter they have two sons on active duty. Robert was a retired air force veteran and took an active role at the First Baptist church, sharing this prayer two weekends ago. Continue to bless this church. Reporter bob somers is robert corrigans uncle. Bobby was an amazing man. Reporter on top of this, the corrigan sons lost a brother less than a year ago. Having to bury their parents after returning home from active duty, its unthinkable. Its terrible to think about so many stories like that. Michelle, thank you very much. Gayle, the scope of the loss in such a small town is complete here. And it is heartbreaking. Its always heartbreaking, jeff, when you start hearing the personal stories of the victims that were lost so senselessly. I still cant wrap my brain around this. Thank you so much. Vice president mike pence said he will go to texas tomorrow to meet the victims of that shooting. President trump arrived in south korea overnight after a twoday visit to japan. He defended existing gun laws at a News Conference in seoul early this morning. The president also said a lot of progress is happening on north korea. And he urged that country to, quote, make a deal. Major garrett is traveling with the president in asia and hes with us now from seoul, major good morning. Reporter south korea fears war in ways it hasnt foredecades. North koreas ballistic and Nuclear Missile tests are the principal reason why. Not helping matters much, President Trumps summertime rhetoric about raining fire and fury down on the north, and later telling the secretary of state that the very idea of direct talks with the north was a waste of time. Today in this gleaming capital city roughly 35 miles south of the demilitarized zone, the president s approach suddenly made room for diplomacy. South korea greeted President Trump with pageantry as his motorcade made the slow approach to the flag waving crowd and south korea president moon jaein, a new center left leader who rolled out the red carpet in hopes of softening trumps criticism. The joint military base near seoul, the president appeared to soften his rhetoric with north korea. It will all work out. It has to work out. Reporter at a press conference with moon, the president did not rule out direct talks. It makes sense for north korea to come to the table and to make a deal thats good for the people of north korea and the people of the world. Reporter and then the president noted the presence of three u. S. Aircraft carrier groups and a Nuclear Submarine in the region. We have unparalleled strength. There has never been strength like it. We hope to god we never have to use. Reporter not far away, protests for and against the american president. Some in south korea fear mr. Trump will bring conflict. We deny trump coming here and we deny trump bad words to provoke. Reporter the protrump faction said north korea must be dealt with more aggressively. Translator many people, this man id said, wish that trump attacks kim jongun. North korea fears regime change, is therefore obsessed with military maneuvers. The very large that naval presence in the region likely to overshadow the president s efforts to defuse the current situation. The burden will be on the president to outline a way forward with the north in his speech tomorrow to the south Korean National assembly. Major garrett in seoul, major, thank you. Police say the men accused of attacking senator rand paul could be charged with a felony because of the senators condition. The kentucky lawmakers neighbor rene boucher is currently charged with fourth degree assault. The 59yearold is accused of tackling the senator from behind while he was outside his home on friday. Dean reynolds is at the courthouse in Bowling Green, kentucky, dean, good morning. Reporter good morning. The friday fight between two neighbors, both of them doctors, and one a u. S. Senator, set off an immediate round of newsroom speculation as to what the motive could possibly be. Well, so far weve learned that this whole tussle may well have involved landscaping. This is an open and active investigation. Reporter Kentucky State Police master trooper Jeremy Hodges said senator pauls longtime neighbor rene boucher was initially charged with misdemeanor assault before paul was medically evaluated. Pauls office later said he suffered five broken ribs from the attack. If it is found there was a serious physical injury that occurred, then the original assault charge can be bumped up to a charge of assault in the second degree. Reporter the arrest warrant said paul suffered small cuts to the nose and mouth area and had trouble breathing. Neighbors reportedly said the two men have a longrunning dispute over yard waste. Boucher admitted going on to pauls property and tackling him while paul was reportedly mowing his lawn. You dont usually have one physician assaulting another physician. Id say thats a fair statement. Reporter matt baker, bouchers attorney, said his client is remorseful and the attack was not politically motivated. That is absurd. Politics has nothing to do with this. Zero. Reporter pauls injuries could postpone his return to washington, making it tough for Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell who is working to round up enough votes to pass tax reform. Any time we have a senator on our side whos not there, its potentially a challenge. Reporter bouchers attorney said his client spent the night in jail on friday and then was released on saturday after posting a 7500 bond. Boucher apparently intends to plead not guilty at his next Court Appearance here in Bowling Green on thursday. All right, questions still remaining, dean, thank you so much. A new report says Harvey Weinstein used a socalled army of spies to block the reporting of Sexual Misconduct allegations against him. The new yorker reports that the disgraced hollywood producer used a team of lawyers, private investigators and former Israeli Intelligence officers. According to the magazine, the goal is to subvert and intimidate his accusers. Jericka dunken is here with details from the new report. Jericka, good morning. As Sexual Harassment and assault allegations continue to mount, this new report provides insight into how weinstein allegedly monitored a number of private Security Firm investigations into his accusers. In the fall of 2016, nearly a year before any allegations against Harvey Weinstein had surfaced, he allegedly initiated what the new yorker called a concerted effort to soilance his accusers. In a new report, the magazine claims stwoo s weinstein enlist quote army of spies to track journalists and actresses attempting to publish allegations against him. The article describes tactics to allegedly gather information. And one example, a private investigator is said to have posed as a womans rights activist in a meeting with actress rose mcgowan. Mcgowan would later accuse weinstein of rape. The new yorker says that investigator was an employee of black cube, an Investigative Firm run largely by former Israeli Intelligence officers. The work by black cube was allegedly run through one of weinsteins lawyers, a highpowered attorney who famously represented al gore in the election dispute. In a contract between the law firm and black cube, the new yorker says it directed black cube to help express information that would stop the publication of a New York Times story about weinsteins abuses. Over a yearlong period, weinsteins team of investigators allegedly collected intelligence on dozens of people, including psychological profiles that the personal or sexual histories. David boies told the new yorker we should not have been contracting with and paying investigators that we did not select and direct. Harvey weinsteins Spokesman Says it is a fiction to suggest that any individuals were targeted or suppressed at any time. And in a statement to cbs news, black cube said it has a policy to never discuss its clients with any third party and it operates in full compliance with the law of any jurisdiction in which it operates.
