The victims of the July Fourth fatal mass shooting in Illinois filed lawsuits Wednesday against Smith & Wesson, the accused gunman, his father, and a Kentucky gun store.
The victims claimed the Lexington gun shop sold an assault rifle to the alleged shooter.
Keely and Jason Roberts, survivors of the shooting, filed the lawsuit in Lake County Circuit Court in Illinois on Tuesday. The lawsuit says Keely Roberts was shot, and a bullet paralyzed her son. According to a news release, the victims are suing online gun distributor Bud's Gun Shop, Smith & Wesson Brands, and Illinois gun retailer Red Dot Arms.
According to court documents, Bud's Gun Shop shipped the gun to Red Dot Arms, a gun dealer located in Illinois, which transferred the assault rifle to the alleged shooter.
