Church killer used dogs for target practice

Texas church killer Devin Kelley once told a former Air Force colleague that he bought dogs on Craigslist to use as “target practice,” according to a report.

Jessika Edwards, who told CNN she worked with Kelley at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 to 2012, said Kelley (inset) made his sick admission on Facebook in 2014 after they reconnected as civilians.

Edwards, who stopped communicating with Kelley after learning of his barbaric acts, said he also exhibited a macabre fascination with mass murders while serving as an airman.

“He would make jokes about wanting to kill somebody,” Edwards recalled. “And we would say, ‘Wait, that’s not funny.’ ”

After Kelley was courtmartialed and convicted in 2012 for assaulting his wife and fracturing his infant stepson’s skull, he started showing up depressed, Edwards said.

The Air Force has come under fire for failing to notify federal law-enforcement officials of Kelley’s conviction, for which he served time in jail before being booted from the service for bad conduct.

Had the FBI been made aware, Kelley would have been barred from legally purchasing the weapon he used in Sunday’s massacre at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs.

Kelley also spoke glowingly of racist Dylann Roof, who killed nine people in a South Carolina church in June 2015, Edwards said.

“He would say he wished he had the nerve to do it, but all he would be able to do is kill animals,” Edwards said.

Meanwhile, the pastor of First Baptist Church said the building where 26 people were slaughtered and 20 others wounded will be demolished.
