The Air Force on Tuesday said it has found dozens of database reporting lapses of the same kind that may have allowed the Sutherland Springs, Texas, church shooter to buy guns despite his domestic violence conviction.
Kyle Odom, a former Marine, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after he pleaded guilty in July to an enhanced aggravated battery charge for shooting Tim Remington in the head, hand and side.
The former airman who shot and killed 26 people in a Texas church Sunday, previously escaped from a behavioral health hospital after being caught sneaking firearms on base and threatening to kill his superiors.
The Air Force has launched a review of how it handled the Sutherland Springs church shooter's criminal records after finding it didn't submit domestic violence records that should have barred him from owning guns.
