The Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday, June 25th that Academy Sports cannot be sued for selling the gun used in the Sutherland Springs church shooting.

“Although federal law disqualified Kelley from purchasing a firearm at the time of the sale – based in part on his conviction in a 2012 court-martial for assaulting his wife and stepson and his dishonorable discharge from the United States Air Force – that disqualifying information was not in the system, which authorized Academy to ‘Proceed’ with the sale,” the court found.”

Multiple lawsuits filed by victims and victims’ families, were thrown out by the Texas High Court. The ruling was unanimous.
