Victims of the Uvalde school shooting that left 21 people dead are seeking $27 billion due to delays in police, and city response in confronting the gunman.

FILE - Flowers and candles are placed around crosses on May 28, 2022, at a memorial outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, to honor the victims killed in the school shooting a few days prior.

It seeks class action status and damages for survivors of the May 24 shooting who have sustained “emotional or psychological damages as a result of the defendants' conduct and omissions on that date.” Instead of following previous training to stop an active shooter “the conduct of the three hundred and seventy-six law enforcement officials who were on hand for the exhaustively torturous seventy- seven minutes of law enforcement indecision, dysfunction, and harm, fell exceedingly short of their duty bound standards," the lawsuit claims.

The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Uvalde Consolidated School District did not respond to requests for comment.

Uvalde shooting victims seek $27 billion, class action in lawsuitVictims of the Uvalde school shooting that left 21 people dead have filed a lawsuit seeking $27 billion against local and state police, the city and other school and law enforcement officials for failing to follow active shooter protocol because authorities waited more than an hour to confront the attacker inside a fourth-grade classroom, according to court documents. All because the school didn't feel locking school doors was important. 🙄 $27 billion? From whom? It won't bring their kids back, but yes these families should never have had to bury their children.
