Uvalde school shooting survivors file $27 billion suit against law enforcement

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, a group of students, teachers, and parents, say they"have sustained emotional and psychological damages as a result of defendants’ conduct and omissions on that date.

"People are hurting, their children are hurting," said lead attorney Charles Bonner, at a news conference Wednesday."They don't know what to do and there's no one helping them." The lawsuit lists the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, Texas Department of Public Safety director Steve McCraw, and former UCISD police chief Pete Arredondo, among other law enforcement officials as defendants. This is the first lawsuit to name McCraw as a defendant.The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

The shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in May killed 19 students and two teachers. Local law enforcement has been heavily scrutinized for their response, with surveillance footage showing officers waited more than an hour to confront the shooter, despite entering the school three minutes after the shooting.

Good

Okay, who dreams up the dollar asks for such lawsuits? If they were awarded that $, they would own ever and everyone in Uvalde!

For any company to shoulder liability for what others do with their legal products will open the floodgates of lawsuits. This behavior against those not directly involved with an incident is shameful, greedy and indirectly affects all of us. Uvalde Danieldefense 2a

GOOD SHOW!

The biggest travesty was keeping parents out of the building while law enforcement refused to go it. I cannot imagine what that was like for parents--most parents will lay down their life for their child.

I think they should go for trillion. Just saying. A.J. sets new precedent for the amounts why not go higher?

That’s a greedy excessive amount of money. It will not bring anyone back. And only destroy more lives.
