Relatives of the gunman who killed 26 people in Texas sometimes worshipped at the church where he opened fire but were not there during Sunday's attack, the local sheriff said on Monday.
"We know that his ex-in-laws or in-laws came to church here from time to time," Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt Jr. told CNN in an interview. "They were not here yesterday."
"They did come yesterday afternoon and speak to investigators, in the aftermath," Tackitt told MSNBC.
However, Tackitt said authorities were not yet able to deduce a motive from their conversation with alleged shooter Devin Kelley's ex-in-laws.
