of gross negligence and of ignoring multiple warnings the day of the shooting.
“Teachers’ concerns with John Doe’s behavior regularly brought to the attention of Richneck Elementary School administration, and the concerns were always dismissed,” the lawsuit states. Other warnings included those from two students, who told a reading specialist the boy had a gun in his backpack, the lawsuit states.
