Texas School Shooting: Uvalde School District Facing $27 Billion Lawsuit Over Massive Failure in Robb Elementary Massacre

A day after the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District resumed its public grievances meeting, they are now facing a multi-billion dollar lawsuit in relation to the Robb Elementary Massacre that happened last May.

California law firm Bonner & Bonner, which represents the victims and the families of the slain children and teachers in the school shooting, is spearheading the class-action lawsuit.

Aside from the massive lawsuit recently served on the embattled district, they are also deciding later this week on the termination status of current Uvalde Police Chief Police Arredondo, which was placed on administrative leave earlier this year after public scrutiny.

Uvalde School District Faces Multi-Billion Dollar Lawsuit Over Robb Elementary School Shooting

According to ABC News, the Uvalde CISD is served with a $27 billion class-action lawsuit following the district's botched response to the Robb Elementary School shooting.

Based on a Texas House report, the law enforcement's failure to carry out the supposed active shooter protocol and their failed management and leadership response to mitigate the situation is what led to the deaths of 21 people, 19 of which were students.

Bonner & Bonner served the notice of claim on Monday evening's school board meeting, the first of the five departments that will be provided with the document.

The City of Uvalde is set to receive the notice today at the City Council Meeting, while the Uvalde County is scheduled on the day after. The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"The shooter's actions resulted in the savage murder of 19 children, two adults, and countless others with physical and emotional injuries whose impacts have scarred them beyond measure," the notice says.

Uvalde School District Class Action Lawsuit Cites Two Major Arguments

A WFAA report of a similar story cited that the notice elaborated two key problems about the law enforcement's response to the school shooting.

Uvalde Police Chief Pete Arredondo was pointed out to have failed to perform his duties as the incident commander effectively.

"The void of leadership could have contributed to the loss of life as injured victims waited over an hour for help, and the attacker continued to sporadically fire his weapon," the notice claims.

In an upcoming Wednesday meeting of the Uvalde School District, they will decide on Arredondo's termination from his post. He was placed on an unpaid administrative leave months ago, and meetings about his termination were delayed due to undisclosed reasons.

Aside from the law enforcement, the school management, headed by then Principal Mandy Gutierrez, was also cited on the served notice.

The document echoes the Texas investigation report, which revealed that despite many requests to have the lock fixed, the Principal has not yet made attempts to fix it. The police officers who responded to the scene also failed to check whether the door was locked or unlocked at the time of the encounter.

The abovementioned agencies and departments (both federal and state) will be facing multiple claims in the upcoming class-action lawsuit, including Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, Gross Negligence, and Negligent Hiring, Supervision, and Retention, among many others.
