The families of three children who survived the Uvalde mass shooting on Wednesday filed the first lawsuit in a federal court against the Uvalde school district, law enforcement officials, gun makers and others.
The suit was filed Wednesday in Texas’ Western District Court and is seeking unspecified damages. One of the children in the lawsuit was wounded in the shooting and was best friends with one of the students killed, according to the lawyers.
The lawsuit says each defendant played a part in the shooting’s tragic outcome, from producing faulty technology that hindered first responders to pushing dark marketing that pitches lethal weapons to young minds. “Daniel Defense intentionally misleads consumers in a fantasy scheme engineered for maximum profit at the expense of American lives,” the suit says.
Witnesses who were in the store later told the FBI the gunman was “very nervous looking,” according to the suit. With a clean background check, however, the store sold the teen the weapons. Regarding the school system, its leaders and law enforcement, the suit describes a culture of “noncompliance with safety protocols, state-mandated school shooter training, disregard for school alerts, and deliberate indifference to the threat of criminal trespassers and school shooters leaving the children and teachers vulnerable to attack.
