Texas massacre, injured child parents sue Ramos’s mother

The parents of four children injured in the Uvalde, Texas elementary school massacre, sued Salvador Ramos, the 18-year-old who last month killed 19 other children and two teachers in Robb Elementary. “He intentionally injured these children, stole their innocence and changed their lives forever” reads the appeal in which $ 100 million in damages are claimed for Adriana Reyes, the mother of Ramos, killed in the firefight with police. But in reality the family lawyer, Thomas J. Henry, has made it clear that the final target of the appeal could be the manufacturers of the assault weapons used in the massacres. “This initial appeal will allow us to have access to the evidence and possibly broaden the appeal if necessary: ​​we will focus on the school system, law enforcement, social media and arms and ammunition manufacturers”, reads a statement in to which it is emphasized that “all possible legal actions for the parties responsible for possible violations of constitutional rights and gun control laws are being explored”. The news comes after last week the parents of Amerie Jo Garza, a 10-year-old girl killed in the massacre, signaled their intention to initiate legal action against Daniel Defense, who produced the weapon used by Ramos in the massacre. . Notably, the couple’s attorney, Josh Koskoff – who also represents the families of the Sandy Hook victims who secured a $ 73 million deal with the now bankrupt Remington Arms, which produced the rifle used in the Newton school massacre. in which 26 people were killed, including 21 children – he asked Daniel Defense about his marketing strategies towards teenagers, as was Ramos who had bought the weapon just turned 18 in mid-May. “Daniel Defense said that he prays for the families of Uvalde, he should follow up the prayers with meaningful action – said Koskoff – if they are truly sincere in their desire to support these families, they give us the information”. The day before the Uvalde massacre, Daniel Defense ran an online advertisement with a small child with an Ar-15 rifle in his hand and the inscription that refers to a biblical saying: “raise a child the right way and when he grows up he won’t will abandon him “.
