    A Beginner’s Guide: New Braunfels Schools 101

    When searching for a new home, prospective buyers consider many factors. How many square feet are in the basement? Is there a pool in the backyard? Is this neighborhood close to where I work? 

    However, one particular question seems to take the cake these days: What school district are we in? 

    A recent Realtor.com survey revealed that over 90% of buyers consider school districts very important when searching for their new home…and for good reason! From academics to extracurricular activities, your child’s educational experience truly shapes the way they relate to the world around them. And even if you don’t have kids, school districts matter: properties that fall in favorable school districts are generally worth more and able to sell faster. Accordingly, New Braunfels has set high standards for the next generation, providing excellent private and public schools.

    Just what are the school districts in the New Braunfels area? New Braunfels ISD and Comal ISD service the main parts of New Braunfels, with some supplementation from Navarro ISD on the east edge of the town.  How would you determine which district is right for you? Obviously, a school’s reputation is built on more than just academics or neighborhood stereotypes. A public school system is just that: a system with many parts working together to form a holistic educational experience. There are plenty of factors that make up this system…the quality and variety of extracurricular activities, school diversity, and teachers, among others.

    Texas church attack: shooter had conflict with mother-in-law

    Police say Kelly had a tense relationship with his ex-wife and her family

    Texas officials have officially confirmed that 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelly was the gunman in the Sutherland Springs Baptist church on Sunday .

    The shooting killed at least 26 people and injured more than 20. Sutherland Springs is a small town of only a few hundred people, 50 kilometers southeast of San Antonio.

    According to the police, the events in the church were preceded by a conflict in the attacker’s family, but it is too early to say how much this quarrel influenced his plans.

    A semi-automatic rifle and two pistols were found in his truck. According to local authorities, Kelly had no legal right to own a gun.

    Kelly was able to be rendered harmless thanks to the quick response of local residents who witnessed the attack. One of them opened fire on the shooter, wounding him and forcing him to flee.

    Before he died, Kelly called his father to say goodbye. The police believe that after that the perpetrator took his own life.

    The FBI continues to work at the scene. Earlier, the FBI said that although only one shooter is known, they are considering other leads.

    • Texas church shooting: at least 26 dead, attacker dead
    • Texas shooting: how locals were able to neutralize the perpetrator
    • Americans and guns: seven visual graphs

    What is known about the attacker?

    Kelly, 26, lived in New Braunfels, Texas.

    In 2010-2014, Kelly served in the air force at the lowest rank – unskilled airman.

    According to US media, citing Pentagon spokesman Ann Stefanek, Kelly joined the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in 2010, but in 2012 he was court-martialed for beating his wife and child and sentenced to 12 months in prison.

    In 2014, Kelly was demoted and discharged from the army.

    What was that?

    We quickly, simply and clearly explain what happened, why it’s important and what’s next.

    The End of the Story Podcast

    Federal law prohibits the sale of guns to dishonorably discharged members of the armed forces, but a police source told CNN that Kelly bought the rifle in San Antonio as early as 2016, giving a false address and lying when asked about his criminal record.

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed that Kelly was ineligible to own a firearm after his license was denied.

    Kelly had a license to work as an unarmed security guard. This job was described by the police as “something like a security guard during concerts.”

    He was not listed in the national database of criminals, so nothing prevented him from obtaining such a license.

    In an interview with CBS, Abbott said: “It’s clear that this man had violent tendencies, he had problems ahead of him, he was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.” The governor also believes that the place of attack was not chosen by chance.

    According to local newspapers, Kelly was an atheist, hostile to believers and the church. As his former classmates say of him, Kelly was “an obnoxious weirdo” who made no secret of his anti-religious views.

    “He constantly said that people who believe in God are stupid, and tried to preach his atheistic views,” local publications quote the words of Nina Roza Nava, who studied with him at school.

    According to Wilson County Sheriff Joe Takitta, Kelly’s relatives and his ex-wife used to visit the church from time to time, but they were not there on the day of the attack.

    The attacker was armed with a semi-automatic rifle. Wilson County Police Commissioner Albert Games Jr. confirmed that the gunman left the scene in a car and was later found dead in it.

    Kelly called his father after he was wounded by a passing gunman. Kelly told his father that he was unlikely to survive.

    Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin told reporters that Kelly shot himself after being hit by a Good Samaritan and the ensuing chase.

    According to Martin, the reason for the attack was a family conflict, not religious beliefs or racial hatred. Recently, he had a tense relationship with relatives, primarily with his mother-in-law. In recent days, he has sent threatening text messages to her.

    What do we know about the victims?

    According to the police, among the dead are people aged 5 to 72 years. 23 people were found dead inside the church, while two people were killed outside. Another victim died in the hospital.

    Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tuckitt told the BBC that five or six of the victims were members of the same family, with US media speculating that there could be eight.

    The names of the victims have not yet been officially released, but authorities on Monday confirmed the identity of the attacker.

    The pastor of the church where the shooting took place, Frank Pomeroy, said his own 14-year-old daughter, Annabelle, was killed in the attack. The pastor himself and his wife were not in the city at that time.

    How did the attack happen?

    Kelly, dressed all in black, wearing a body armor and carrying an assault rifle, entered a church building in Sutherland Springs at 11:30 local time and opened fire on the crowd.

    Sunday service was going on in the church. According to local residents, about 50 parishioners usually come to the service in this church.

    How did you manage to neutralize the attacker?

    Two local residents who happened to be near the scene tried to stop the shooter, wounding him, and then rushed after him.

    One of them, Johnny Langendorff, told the local TV station KSAT that he, along with another man, drove up to an intersection where gunfire was heard and saw two men shooting at each other – the second man was a local resident passing by.

    “He ran up to my car in great excitement, with a gun in his hands, and briefly told me what had happened. He jumped into the car and I knew I had to act,” recalls Langendorff.

    According to him, the two of them pursued the attacker at a speed of about 150 km/h until he lost control of the car.

    “We held him at gunpoint until the police arrived,” said Johnny Langendorff.

    According to the US media, the “Good Samaritan” who got into a gunfight with his attacker and saved many lives was Steven Wilford, who lives nearby.

    A 55-year-old plumber with no special military training grabbed his own rifle and ran towards the sounds of gunfire after his daughter told him what was going on.

    Running to the church, Wilford came face to face with his attacker. Wilford managed to wound Kelly by hitting him in the side through a gap in his body armor, after which he was forced to flee.

    Wilford and Langendorf rushed after him without waiting for the police to arrive.

    Langendorff’s Facebook page is now full of thanks and words of support.

    “God bless you, Johnny. You are a true American hero,” one social media user wrote.

    Residents of Sutherland Springs held a funeral ceremony with candles on Monday night

    How are the US authorities reacting?

    “This always happens unexpectedly, it just breaks my heart,” Games Jr. admitted, speaking of the attack in the church.

    State Governor Greg Abbott, who was present at the funeral ceremony on Monday night, called the incident the bloodiest massacre in the history of Texas.

    “For those affected by this pain, mourning will be long and full of suffering,” Abbott said at a press conference on Sunday.

    The President of the United States, who is on a tour of Asia, tweeted: “May God help the people in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan.”

    Later, at a press conference, Trump ignored the need for tougher gun laws. “We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, the problem is not with weapons,” he said.

    “Fortunately, someone else also had a weapon, which allowed them to return fire. Otherwise, everything could have ended much, much worse,” the president said.

    “In thought and prayer now are all Texans, along with the residents of Sutherland Springs, where this tragic news came from,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
