The U.S. government bears most of the responsibility for a mass shooting that left 25 dead in Texas in 2017, a judge said in a ruling signed Wednesday.

A group of parents of children killed in the massacre at a church in Sutherland Springs sued the government a year after the shooting, alleging the failures of the U.S. Air Force and others to enter crucial information into federal databases after Devin Kelley, an airman, was convicted of assault against his wife and young stepson, led to the mass shooting.
