Families of the victims of the 2017 church shooting massacre in Texas are suing the sporting goods company that sold the shooter weapons used in the attack.

The family members argued in court Friday that Academy Sports & Outdoors illegally sold the shooter an assault-style rifle, high-capacity magazine and ammunition in 2016, The Associated Press reported.

They reportedly believe the sale to Devin Kelley was illegal because he showed a Colorado ID to purchase a gun in Texas.
