Gun deaths are on the rise again in the United States. Just a few weeks ago, a disturbed man pulled the trigger in Las Vegas and rained bullets down from a hotel room window at an outdoor country music concert, killing 59 people and injuring more than 500 others. And this weekend, another deranged man entered a church in a small, rural town in Texas with a community of fewer than 400 people during Sunday services.

He entered the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs and started firing while walking toward the front of the congregation. Then he turned toward the front door and continued to shoot on his way back out the front door. This cold blooded attacker gave no chance to escape to the small congregation of 50 people who had gathered in the church for Sunday services.His name is Devin Patrick Kelley, a 26-year-old man from New Braunfels, close to Sutherland Springs. He is a U.S. air force veteran thrown out of the military for assaulting his wife and child. He did not blink an eye while repeatedly pulling the trigger, killing 26 people and injuring 20 on Sunday. Then he left the church and two armed local residents pursued him in their vehicles. The chase ended when the gunman crashed his car and then shot himself, according to Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitttarget="_blank"'>
