UVALDE, Texas — The mother of a girl killed during the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, last May, filed a lawsuit Monday against gun distributors, local governments and 16 law enforcement officers on the scene during the shooting -- claiming their negligence led to her daughter's death.
"Eliahna loved her family, and she knew how much we loved her," Sandra Torres, the mother of 10-year-old Eliahna Torres, said in a news release."I miss her every moment of every day. I've brought this lawsuit to seek accountability. No parent should ever go through what I have."
Some of the defendants in the case, including then-school district Police Chief Pete Arredondo, former acting Uvalde Police Chief Mariano Pargas and gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, are already facing separate cases filed in federal court back in September by families of some who survived the shooting.In an August interview with ABC News, Sandra Torres described how hard it has been processing her daughter's death.
"She hated sweating , but she had fallen in love with playing softball and was a promising young infielder," read the complaint.
