Re: TX: Sutherland Springs church 26 dead 20 injured in mass shooting

I would be interested in looking at his 4473 that he filled out at Academy. Can those be disclosed to the public or are they exempt from disclosure?

Re: TX: Sutherland Springs church 26 dead 20 injured in mass shooting

I will assume a few things:
the case was filed in state district court (the article does not say whether the suit was filed in state district court or federal court);
Academy will be well-represented;
their lawyers will read the petition and do some research;
If appropriate they will file a motion for summary judgment and ask that the case be tossed;
The Supreme Court of Texas loves to toss cases like this (think intervening criminal conduct);
If filed in federal court I do not see the fifth circuit being sympathetic to the plantiffs.

Well worth it to keep up with this case.

There's a short video of the Good Samaritan. He's almost in tears for the whole thing.

Then there's a video of his cousin, relaying the story, presumably as the Samaritan told him.
Those interviews are riveting. So, the church shooter took one in his side and two in the neck from the good guy's AR15---and still managed to drive a few miles down the road before he killed himself according to the police. Those must have been graze wounds. Any of those hits by themselves should have been sufficient to put the bad guy down---depending of course on shot placement.

Interesting that the "death vehicle" was hijacked and the poor owner/driver was in the passenger's seat. He is certainly a vital witness regarding statements made by Kelley, the phone-call to his dad, and whether and how he committed suicide. I assume the media will get to him in a matter of time.
