A fourth Sutherland Springs family is pursuing a wrongful-death claim against the Air Force for failing to tell the FBI about the criminal history of Devin Patrick Kelley, the former airman who killed 26 people last month in the worst mass shooting in modern Texas history. In a precursor to a possible lawsuit against the Air Force, the Ward family filed the most recent complaint, WOAI-TV reported. Kelley had killed Joann Ward and her daughters, Brooke and Emily, in the Nov. 5 massacre at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs.

Many women have believed that newer hormonal contraceptives are much safer than those taken by their mothers or grandmothers, which had higher doses of estrogen.
