Tara Elise McNulty, 33, was killed on November 5, 2017, in the mass shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. A resident of Sutherland Springs, she was a single mother to two children, Hailey and James, who were with her during the attack; both children were wounded and survived after surgery.

The shooter, identified as Devin Patrick Kelley, killed 26 people and injured 20 others before taking his own life. Kelley had previously been court-martialed by the U.S. Air Force for assaulting his wife and fracturing his stepson’s skull; that criminal history was not entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is alleged to have allowed him to purchase firearms used in the attack. Survivors and victims’ families later filed a lawsuit against the Air Force alleging its failure to report his record contributed to the tragedy.

Tara was remembered by friends and colleagues as kind and loving; the community organized fundraisers to help with funeral expenses and her children’s medical costs. If anyone knew Tara, her family, or has information relevant to this case, please come forward.
