Air Force: Lapse in reporting Texas rampage part of pattern

The Air Force said Tuesday that its failure to report the criminal history of a former airman who massacred more than two dozen people at a Texas church this month was “not an isolated incident.”

In a statement on its investigation, the Air Force blamed gaps in “training and compliance measures” for the lapse involving Devin Kelley, who had been convicted of assaulting his thenwife and stepson in 2012.
