DOJ settles for $144M with victims of Texas church shooting.
TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department has tentatively agreed to a $144 million settlement with families and victims of a 2017 mass shooting at a Texas church carried out by a former U.S. airman who was able to purchase firearms despite a criminal history. The settlement would end a long-running lawsuit that was filed in 2018. The Air Force was blamed for not reporting his record to the FBI. The conviction would have been a red flag in the mandatory background check when Kelley tried to purchase a gun.
