Texas Jury Deliberates Parents' Liability in 2018 Santa Fe Shooting That Killed 10
Aug 19, 2024, 08:20 AM
In a landmark civil trial, the parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the admitted shooter in the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting, are facing potential financial liability for the incident that resulted in the deaths of 10 people. The lawsuit, brought by the victims' families, seeks to hold Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos accountable for their son's actions. The case is among the first where victims of a school shooting are attempting to hold the shooter's parents liable in civil court. A Texas jury is deliberating on the matter, with the requirement that only 10 of the 12 jurors need to agree for a decision to be reached. The Santa Fe Independent School District is not facing liability in this case.
