The Texas Supreme Court has issued a major ruling in a case evolving out of the Sutherland Springs shooting in south Texas four years ago.
The court is tossing lawsuits against the sporting goods store that sold a high capacity magazine to the gunman in the Sutherland Springs church massacre.
The court held Academy Sporting Goods is protected against legal action by federal law.
26 people were killed and 20 were injured when gunman Devin Kelly opened fire during a church service November 5, 2017.
Four familes of victims sued Academy for selling 30 round magazines to Kelly, in violation of his home state law in Colorado.
The court said the sale was lawful and that Academy cannot be sued.
There are still lawsuits pending against the US Air Force which court martialed Kelley in 2012. It's a charge that should have blocked the sale of guns to him, but the Air Force allegedly never entered the convicion into the system.
