Texas Supreme Court rejects lawsuit by survivors of Uvalde school shooting
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal from students and teachers of Robb Elementary School regarding the 2022 Uvalde shooting that resulted in 19 student and two teacher fatalities. The court upheld a previous ruling from the 4th Court of Appeals, which found that the Department of Public Safety and Uvalde County were not liable under the Texas Tort Claims Act. The lawsuit claimed negligence in the response to the shooting, citing failures in communication and protective measures by law enforcement. However, the court determined that the plaintiffs did not provide sufficient evidence linking these failures directly to their injuries.
