Ex-Wife Says Texas Shooter 'Had a Lot of Demons'

"He just had a lot of demons or hatred inside of him," Tessa Brennaman tells CBS News regarding her ex-husband, Devin Kelley, who killed 26 people in a Texas church last Sunday. Brennaman gave her first interview since the shooting Friday. The New York Times reports Brennaman was 19-year-old Tessa Loge when she married Kelley in 2011. She tells CBS their marriage was filled with abuse and she was afraid of him. 

She says he threatened to kill her and her family. After she got a speeding ticket in 2012, Brennaman says Kelley put a gun "to my temple and told me, 'Do you want to die?'" He hit her and fractured the skull of her baby. Kelley would later plead guilty and spend a year in a military prison. Brennaman would file for divorce.
