On Tuesday, eight were ruthlessly killed in New York and now 27 more have lost their lives this week in a senseless attack on churchgoers in Texas. As the media scrambles to blame this on the gun in a push for more control, the country\u2019s worst nightmare was just confirmed about who the shooter is and what he set out to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>Americans, specifically Christians are under attack in these trying days prophesized about in the Bible that we are seeing come to fruition under the most terrifying terms. In September, white Tennessee churchgoers were ambushed and killed by a gunman in an unprovoked attack that was swiftly swept under the rug by the mainstream media desperate to hide the important details and keep the attention on irrelevant issues like Russian collusion. Now, the blood of 27 faithful believers is now on their hands after disregarding the clear and present threat in this country to keep the focus on their rhetoric. There\u2019s no hiding what\u2019s happening now and every American needs to be on high alert for what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few short hours after a gunman stormed the small Sutherland Springs, TX church, we\u2019re seeing that the dead suspect is white, but his race had nothing to do with what he did. While his race and other irrelevant factors is what we\u2019ll hear most about from the mainstream media, there a much larger fact about this suspect that is absolutely everything that Americans must know right now.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-5052163\/Up-27-shot-Texas-church-gunman-opens-fire.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail\u00a0<\/a>reports:<\/p>\n<p><em>The mass shooter who opened fire\u00a0inside a Texas church killing at least 27 \u2013 including a two-year-old child \u2013 has been identified as a 26-year-old former Bible study teacher who was dishonorably discharged from the US Air Force.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"dsk-box-ad-d\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Devin Patrick Kelley walked into the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, dressed in full combat gear, and began shooting, according to local law enforcement sources.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kelley, 26, of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio,\u00a0was killed after a brief foot chase into Guadalupe Count<em>y, according to Guadalupe County Sheriff\u2019s Office spokesman Robert Murphy.
