The lawsuit filed this week in federal court in Texas and made public on Friday said the U.S. Air Force acted negligently when it failed to report the criminal record of gunman Devin Kelley to a U.S. database, which could have prevented him from legally purchasing an assault rifle used in the killings.
Air Force officials were not immediately available for comment but have previously said they do not comment on specific claims.
Legal experts have said the Air Force would not be able to claim federal immunity in the case, but cautioned any lawsuits faced a prolonged battle.

Interesting development. Texas is an interesting state where I used to travel on business but I'm glad I don't have to go there any more.
