Parents of Santa Fe High School Shooter Indicted
In a tragic incident that shook the nation, 10 students and teachers lost their lives, and 13 others were injured in the 2018 shooting at Santa Fe High School. The parents of the accused shooter, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, have now been indicted in connection with the devastating event. The lawsuit filed by survivors and victims’ families alleges that the parents should have taken more responsibility to prevent their son from accessing the firearms used in the attack.
Civil Trial and Legal Proceedings
Jury selection is currently underway in the civil trial, where witnesses will testify about the events leading up to the shooting. Despite being ruled incompetent to stand trial in a criminal case, Pagourtzis himself cannot face criminal charges due to his age at the time of the incident. However, this civil trial offers a chance for justice and accountability for the families affected by the tragedy.
Emotional Impact and Healing
The aftermath of the shooting has left deep scars on the survivors and victims’ families. Many continue to struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and find it challenging to return to normalcy. The settlements reached in separate lawsuits against online ammunition sellers provide a small sense of closure, but the emotional wounds remain raw.
