The son of one of 10 people killed at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 is suing gun-maker Sturm, Ruger & Co. over how it marketed the firearm used in the massacre
— following the litigation road map set by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
“We filed the lawsuit to both to seek justice for the family of the victim, but also to hold them accountable and to serve a preventative function as well, to protect future victims,” Garza said in phone interview Wednesday. Getz and representatives of Sturm, Ruger & Co. did not immediately return email messages seeking comment Wednesday.
The Colorado shooter, 23-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is accused of opening fire outside and inside the store — killing customers, workers and a police officer who tried to stop the attack. Alissa,, has been ruled incompetent to stand trial. He is charged with murder and multiple counts of attempted murder.
