John Bryan Holcombe, a 60-year-old Caucasian man, was killed on November 5, 2017, while serving as a guest pastor and delivering the sermon at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, opened fire on the congregation in an attack that left 26 people dead, including Holcombe and several of his family members.

Kelley had a prior 2012 conviction for assaulting his wife and stepson. That conviction was not entered into the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System due to an Air Force reporting error, a lapse that allowed Kelley to legally purchase the weapons used in the shooting. The Holcombe family later sued the U.S. government, alleging negligence by the Air Force for failing to report Kelley’s conviction and arguing the omission enabled the shooter to buy the firearms.

Eight members of the Holcombe family, including John Bryan Holcombe, were killed in the attack. Does anyone have information about the victims or the family that could help piece together what happened that day?
