A judge cleared the way last month for the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs to tear down the sanctuary where the attack took place.

Some families had earlier this year filed a lawsuit hoping to get a new vote on the building’s fate after church members voted in 2021 to tear it down.

A new church was completed for the congregation about a year and a half after the shooting.
