Families of survivors from the Robb Elementary School massacre filed a civil lawsuit this week against a group of defendants that includes law enforcement officials and the Uvalde school district.
California-based law firm Baum Hedlund and San Antonio lawyer Shawn C. Brown filed the lawsuit on behalf of three surviving children, including one who was wounded.
It seeks unspecified damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress against all defendants.
This includes the Uvalde school district, the city, law enforcement — including former district police chief Pete Arredondo and suspended Uvalde police Lt. Mariano Pargas — and gun manufacturers and sellers Daniel Defense and Oasis Outback.
The complaint accuses the defendants of significant failures and negligence that enabled the gunman to carry out the shooting.
Stephanie Sherman, a Texas-based lawyer for Baum Hedlund, is the lead attorney on the case.

" intentional infliction of emotional distress"
I believe intent will be hard to prove.

I get the issue and agree that those involved should suffer the consequences of their inaction but answer me this. When was the last time we were allowed to sue a major auto maker for a death due to drunk driving?

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I don't think so. A manufacturer has no responsibility to how someone uses the legal item they produce. If you're going to sue gun manufacturers for how they were used then you have to consider sueing the auto maker for the psycho that drove into a Christmas parade.
