FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Survivors and family members of the slain victims of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, are suing the school district, the sheriff’s office, a deputy and a school monitor, claiming their negligence allowed the massacre to happen.
The lawsuits will be filed in state court in South Florida on Tuesday morning, following a news conference.
Authorities say former student Nikolas Cruz fatally shot 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine’s Day in 2018.
