President Trump on Texas Mass Shooting: “Fortunately… Somebody Else Had a Gun” (VIDEO)

On Sunday, 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley opened fire inside First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas outside of San Antonio, killing 26 people and injuring 24.

Devin Kelley was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force.
It was against the law for him to own firearms.

Democrats immediately called for gun control yet it was armed citizens who pursued Kelley in a vehicle after the mass shooting.

But gun control would not have stopped this killer — He was already breaking the law!

President Trump told reporters on Monday gun control measures would not have stopped the shooter.

CNBC reported:

When asked whether U.S. gun control measures could have been the key to the Texas shooting, Trump replied, “Mental health is your problem here.”

“This isn’t a guns situation,” he said, before adding, “This is a mental health problem at the highest level. It’s a very, very sad event.”…

“Fortunately … somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction,” Trump said at the press conference.
