Th lte from last months Texas Church Massacre by a former member of the air force. Devin kelley was able to buy the gun he used to kill 26 worshippers in Sutherland Springs just outside san antonio because the air force failed to report his conviction for Domestic Assault to the fbi. If the conviction had been reported, his name would have been entered into the database of people barred from purchasing firearms. The air force admitted it failed to report several dozen other violent offenders as well. San Francisco City attorney Dennis Herrera believes Court Intervention is needed to make sure the Defense Department does its job in the future. Its unfortunate that it took that tragedy to highlight and bring out into the mainstream what has been going on for all too long and that is the department of defenses failure to live up to its responsibilities. Reporter according to the lawsuit filed by the democratic mayors of new york, philadelphia and San Francisco, a 2017 Defense Department study revealed the air force failed to submit final reports in about 14 of cases. The navy and marines in about 36 of cases and the army in about 41 . The pentagons Inspector General told Congress Earlier this month such failures were long running and widespread among all the armed services. Inadequate training, inadequate verification. They didnt take these recommendations as seriously as they should have. Reporter the pentagon has promised to fix the problem, but the lawsuit asks the judge to compel the military to go back over old cases and identify all the violent offenders it failed to report to the fbi. The Justice Department says it is examining the lawsuit to determine its next step. David martin at the pentagon. David, thank you.
