A Texas jury says the parents of a former student accused of killing 10 people in a 2018 Santa Fe high school shooting can’t be held responsible.
The parents of a former student accused of killing 10 people at a high school near Houston in 2018 do not bear financial responsibility for the shooting, a jury has decided. A lawsuit brought by victims and their families sought to hold Dimitrios Pagourtzis and his parents, Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos, accountable for the shooting at Santa Fe High School in 2018.
The attorney representing Dimitrios Pagourtzis told jurors that although his client did plan the shooting, he was never in control of his actions because of his severe mental illness. McGuire said the parents knew their son was depressed, receiving bad grades and isolating himself and had taken weapons from their gun cabinet and safe.
