Texas family sues US Govt after mass shooting

Published on: 

A family that lost three generations at a Texas church mass shooting in November filed a lawsuit on Saturday against the US Government, claiming it could have prevented the gunman from legally acquiring firearms.

Devin Patrick Kelley, who had a history of domestic abuse and mental health problems, killed 26 people and wounded 20 others at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

The victims included one-year-old Noah Holcombe and his aunt 36-year-old Crystal Holcombe, who was pregnant and died along with three of her five children.

In all, the Holcombe family counted nine members who perished in the attack.
