Family members of slain victims and survivors wounded in a 2017 mass shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, filed a consolidated lawsuit Feb. 26 against the national sporting goods retailer Academy Sports + Outdoors. Fifty-six individuals seeking more than $1 million each in damages claim Academy illegally sold the Ruger AR-556 rifle used in the Nov. 5, 2017, ambush that killed 27 men, women and children gathered for Sunday morning worship and injured 20 more.
