Family members of some of the Dayton mass shooting victims are discussing a wrongful death lawsuit against the manufacturer of the 100-round magazine used in the attack.
In a news release, Columbus-based law firm Cooper Elliott said the lawsuit will be filed against Kyung Chang Industry USA Inc. and its related South Korean company. Claims against the company include negligence, negligent entrustment and public nuisance.
Dayton shooting thread:“The risks to public safety of making and selling these to civilians outweigh any benefits. They are also not aware of any meaningful protocols, checks, or oversight KCI has in place to make sure its product isn’t used in a mass shooting. Therefore, it was foreseeable that, without sufficient safeguards, providing 100-round magazines to the general public would likely result in them being used in a mass shooting.”
