TEXAS CHURCH MASSACRE KILLS 26 PEOPLE
If you lived anywhere in Texas and most likely anywhere in the U.S. in 2017, you most likely heard of one of the worst church shootings to date. A man by the name of Devin Kelley, went into his former church and killed 26 people and wounding 22 others. Dubbed, "Texas Church Massacre", this is a horrific tragedy. In this video, I visit the church where this took place as well as show you all a small memorial which showcases each of the victims.
If you have any suggestions for any crime locations, infamous crimes or infamous people you want me to cover, (mostly around WA state as that is where I live but any state is fine) send me a message on facebook or instagram @ infamous crime locations.
Thank you for checking out my channel. If you enjoy crime related content and especially seeing me go to where these crimes happen, definitely subscribe and hit the bell to get notified of every new video. And as always, my name is Harmin and thank you for watching.

Baptist church in Texas, 26 Dead, November 2017, previous domestic violence conviction, he was court marshalled, imagine the grief, did anybody deserve it, and the motive unknown, the culprit injured and wouldn't survive, he crashed when he killed himself, he lost his job in the airforce, he was abusive before the incident, acted weird on previous occasions when he visited the church, arguments with his wife mum, and possibly took revenge because she prayed there, a sad tragedy🏛

Thanks for doing this. This helps honor the lives if those who got cut short.
Years ago, I attended a small bible fellowship. There was a young guy and his wife who were separated; the wife couldn't take his physical abuse and went home to her folks. There were no kids. I was new there and didn't know anyone there very well. The preacher had actually been encouraging her to return to him since he thought he had a pretty good handle on this guy, spending a lot of time with him and counseling him. Long story short, she just would not go back to him. He disliked her parents (her dad in particular) and went to visit her there, but thank God they weren't home. He left a note for her there. She didn't respond. He then called and actually shot himself in the head while on the phone to her. In retrospect, the preacher was extremely shaken and felt very bad that he really didn't know how bad off the guy was mentally. He told us he believed this guy would probably have shot her folks and her had they been home that day. The wife never returned to this fellowship, and I can't say I blame her.
Wilford was a hero. Along with the man who picked him up and went after this lunatic in a split second.

You have to wonder why his wife stayed with him as long as she did. I do understand abuse to a certain level since I myself dealt with emotional abuse and some physical abuse, but never on that kind of level. You feel like you can't leave for whatever reason having a real number being played on your mind. This kind of physical abuse would make one run with their children. I hope she got the mental help she surely deserved. I can't even phantom the reason someone becomes so twisted, and that someone didn't see this coming. God bless the victims!

Morning Harman tragic event
Sad that a person with as many past incidents of anger & malice was never handled through the Legal system. Don't know if these went unreported or did not meet the Legal standard for punishment. Also sad & infuriating that anyone other police or military can purchase an AR 15. Definitely not used for hunting & I wouldn't think for self defense. Still this is one of the great tragedies of all time. I remember when I was 8 happened to be at church when the four little girls were bombed at 16th Avenue Baptist Church. I was too young to understand the racial undertones of the crime & thought all little girls were being bombed at church. It profoundly affected my ability to be in a church for many years so I wonder how survivors of this tragedy are feeling. My prayers to church members & families

I realize it wasn't the gun itself just saying there have been too many mass shootings where the weapon was an AR 15. The crazies don't stop themselves, the Legal system often either does not nor cannot stop a crazy person from killing innocent people or as in this case the Air Force did not contact authorities which hopefully have stopped this guy during normal background checks. I'm supportive of the Second Amendment just don't support the inclusion of the AR 15. I understand not everyone agrees.
This is why you should carry a firearm at all times. You never know when a crazy person might go on a rampage. Stay armed and be well trained. Stay strapped or get clapped.

What a horrific crime the poor people Unbelievable how crazy people can be
It seems such a trivial comment to make but if I was doing the narration on such a heinous crime as this, and others in the series, I certainly wouldn't refer to a perpetrator by using their first names eg. Devin (as here). Surnames only would be more appropriate. You only call a friend or close acquaintance by their first names where I come from. Kelley deserves no such respect in my book.

I call everyone by their first name. That doesn't mean I'm giving Devin any respect. I feel like using his last name, like mr. Kelley sounds way too formal.
