The families of 19 victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, sued 91 Texas Department of Public Safety officers in a $500 million federal lawsuit.
The families of 19 victims of the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting filed a $500 million lawsuit in federal court Wednesday against 91 Texas Department of Public Safety officers and the local school district, deeming their response to the 2022 massacre the 'single greatest failure of law enforcement to confront an active shooter in American history.
separate lawsuit filed by different plaintiffs in December 2022 against local and state police, the city, and other schools and law enforcement, seeks at least $27 billion and class-action status for survivors. Additionally, at least two other lawsuits have been filed against Georgia-based gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, which made the AR-style rifle used by the gunman.
Howerver, Javier Cazares, the father of slain 9-year-old Jackie Cazares, noted that the announcement, which was made in the same Uvalde Civic Center where the families gathered to be told their children were dead or wounded, was sparsely attended. 'On the way over here, I saw the sticker, which I see everywhere, ‘Uvalde Strong.’ If that was the case, this room should be filled, and then some. Show your support. It's been an unbearable two years,' he said.
