The lawsuit alleges officials failed to follow active shooter protocol when they waited more than an hour to confront the attacker inside a fourth-grade classroom.
AUSTIN, Texas — Victims of the Uvalde school shooting that left 21 people dead have filed a lawsuit against local and state police, the city and other school and law enforcement officials seeking $27 billion due to delays in confronting the attacker, court documents show.
Among those who filed the lawsuit are school staff and representatives of minors who were present at Robb Elementary when a gunman stormed the campus, killing 19 children and two teachers in the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. in nearly a decade. The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Uvalde Consolidated School District did not respond to requests for comment.
