The U.S. Justice Department has struck a tentative $144.5 million settlement with victims and relatives of people slain in the 2017 mass shooting at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, just southeast of San Antonio.       The DOJ and an attorney for the victims’ families announced the tentative deal Wednesday in separate statements. Justice Department officials said the settlement would resolve claims by more than 75 plaintiffs. Twenty-six people died in the shooting and 22 more were injured.
