In Texas, the Justice Department has reached a tentative $144 million settlement with relatives and victims of the 2017 mass shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, which left 26 people dead. Victims sued the U.S. Air Force after it failed to report the shooter’s history of violence to the FBI, which should have prevented the gunman from obtaining the assault rifle and other weapons used in the attack.
