HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT)- A Kentucky judge allows a lawsuit to go forward, which would hold several gun businesses responsible for the 2023 Old National Bank mass shooting that occurred in Louisville.
Morganfield Job Corps Center confirmed to close June 30
Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry recently ruled that the case could continue, despite a federal law that gives gun manufacturers and dealers immunity from crimes committed with their products. The families of several shooting victims are suing a gun seller, distributor, and firearm accessories manufacturer in connection to the shooting in downtown Louisville.
The lawsuit alleges that the gun dealer, River City Firearms, was negligent and failed to catch warning signs given by the shooter, Connor Sturgeon, before selling him an AR-15, which he would later use to kill five people at the branch. Distributor RSR Group and firearm accessory company Magpul are also part of the lawsuit. River City Firearms filed to have the case dismissed, saying the sales were lawful and done by the book.
