The federal government admitted at a trial Tuesday that the Air Force failed to flag the violent past of a gunman who went on to massacre 26 people in Sutherland Springs, but the government lawyer argued that the shooter should bear most, if not all, the responsibility for the deaths.
The families and survivors of the mass shooting sued the Air Force, arguing that the government should bear most of the responsibility 65 to 70 percent for failing to report disgraced airman Devin Kelley’s domestic violence conviction to a national database that gun dealers check during firearms purchases.
