The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to block a lawsuit brought by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting against Remington, the firearms manufacturer that made the AR-15 rifle used in the shooting.
The high court rejected an appeal from Remington Arms Co. and will allow the lawsuit against the company to proceed at the state level. The suit alleges that Remington marketed the rifle “for use in assaults against human beings.”
The 2012 massacre by a 20-year-old lone male left 20 students and six educators dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
