(H/T Smokie for placing the NBC News story in a BlogTalkRadio chatroom.)
UPDATE: The attacker has been identified as Devin Kelley, of New Braunfels, Texas.
UPDATE 2: In 2014, Kelley was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force, as reported by CBS News. This would have disqualified him, according to 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(6), from having a gun sold to him or otherwise transferred to him.
UPDATE 3: According to AOL, Kelley sent "threatening text messages" to his in-laws. His mother-in-law attended the church in which he attacked the congregation. During his time in the Air Force, he was convicted of assaulting his wife and child, and eventually was given a "bad conduct" discharge, which might still meet the "under dishonorable conditions" recitation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(6) and (g)(6). Since assaulting his family members would be acts of domestic violence, Kelley would be disqualified from legally owning a gun under § 922(d)(9) and (g)(9) of the same law. See the link in the second update.
