On Wednesday, the families of 19 victims whose loved ones were killed or injured in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas announced a lawsuit against nearly 100 state police officers.
The announcement comes just days before marking two years since the shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers.
The lawsuit includes 92 Texas Department of Public Safety officials and troopers, plus former Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo and Robb Elementary principal Mandy Gutierrez.
"Qualified immunity is a detail that will be fought out in court, we feel we can beat it," Josh Koskoff, the families' attorney. "The city picked up the phone and reached out, they are also citizens of the great state of Texas."
Lawyers for the families said they also plan to sue the State of Texas and the federal government.
"Maybe it turns out when you have good guys with guns, it's not that easy to take out a kid with an AR-15," said Koskoff.
