Las Vegas Shooting Victims Outraged Over MGM’s Lawsuit Against Them
Victims of a mass shooting at a Las Vegas country music festival said they were outraged when they learned they were being sued by the company that owns the hotel where the gunman opened fire, reports the Associated Press.
At a press conference, one of the victims, Jason McMillan, a 36-year-old Riverside County sheriff’s deputy who was shot and paralyzed, said he can’t believe MGM officials would try to foist blame onto anyone but themselves. Other survivors, victims’ relatives and attorneys railed against the decision to file lawsuits against hundreds of victims.
“MGM Resorts International sued victims in at least seven states last week in a bid to get federal courts to declare the company has no liability for the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history,” writes Amy Taxin.
