Sandy Hook Families May Sue Gunmaker

Parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting two years ago have filed wrongful death claim notices on the behalf of their children, the Hartford Courant's Dave Altimari reports. Filing the notice does not mean that the parents will definitely proceed with lawsuits, and no defendants are filed in the notice. But Altimari indicates that "sources said several families met over the weekend with lawyers from Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, a Bridgeport law firm, to discuss a potential lawsuit against Bushmaster, the North Carolina-based manufacturer of the Bushmaster AR 15 that Adam Lanza used to kill 20 first-graders and six adults on Dec. 14, 2012." Other lawyers are considering a lawsuit against the town of Newtown or its school board regarding the secuirty at the school or suing the estate of Nancy Lanza, the mother of Adam Lanza.
