Judge: Federal government to blame for 26 dead in Sutherland Springs shooting | Legal Newsline
Judge: Federal government to blame for 26 dead in Sutherland Springs shooting | Legal Newsline: The federal government bears the bulk of responsibility for one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, a San Antonio federal court ruled July 7.
In a lawsuit brought by families of the victims of a church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Judge Xavier Rodriguez found the United States 60% responsible for the deaths of 26 people and injuries of 22 more.
Shooter Devin Kelley, who obtained his firearms because the Air Force failed to enter his violence issues in a national database used by gun retailers, is 40% to blame, Rodriguez ruled. If settlements aren’t reached, individual trials on damages will be scheduled for the plaintiffs.
