The family of a teen left paralyzed from a shooting in a Citadel Mall parking lot last year is suing the owners of the mall, citing inadequate security measures were in place.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, two people were shot during an argument at the mall on May 22, 2022. Makayla Anderson’s family said she was an innocent bystander when she was shot in the chest.
The other person hit by gunfire was a juvenile male, who survived their wounds but was arrested on two counts of attempted first-degree murder for a shooting that wounded two people near Mitchell High School a few weeks prior. There isn’t a specified amount of damages sought in the lawsuit. However, the suit is seeking “damages for loss of enjoyment of life, both past and future; medical and medical related expenses, both past and future; travel and travel-related expenses, past and future; emotional distress and future emotional distress; pharmaceutical expenses, past and future; and all other ordinary, incidental, and consequential damages as would be anticipated to arise under the circumstances.
KOAA requested the calls for service after a police chase inside the mall ended in the death of a 19-year-old man by suicide.
