Parents of theater shooting victim file suit against ammo suppliers
The parents of Jessica Ghawi, who was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shootings, filed a lawsuit in Arapahoe County District Court on Tuesday against four Internet ammunition and military-grade supply companies who they allege recklessly supplied the man accused in the attack.
“We’re putting them on notice,” said Lonnie Phillips, Ghawi’s father. “We’re coming after you.”
The lawsuit was filed by the nationally recognized law firm Arnold & Porter LLP’s Denver office in conjunction with the Washington D.C.-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The companies named in the litigation are scattered in Tennessee, Minnesota and Arizona. read more
