The father of a former NFL player who fatally shot six people before killing himself two years ago is suing the alma mater where his son played football.
An autopsy eventually diagnosed Phillip Adams with ancommonly known as CTE that has been shown to cause violent mood swings and memory loss.
That alleged"negligence, carelessness, recklessness, willfulness, and wantonness" contributed to Adams' death following the April 8, 2021, mass shooting in Rock Hill, South Carolina, according to the wrongful death lawsuit filed March 31. Police found Adams with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The NFL journeyman also sustained"head trauma" during his six years as a professional cornerback, according to the complaint. During a three-game span with the Raiders in 2012, Adams had two concussions.
