Uvalde families sue gunman's estate for $100 million, focus on gun and ammo manufacturers

The families of four children injured in the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, are suing the estate of gunman Salvador Ramos for $100 million, and their attorney says additional parties may be added to the lawsuit.  .

One of the survivors represented in the suit was shot in the the face, another was shot in the back, leg and shoulder, one child was shot in the leg and another student was shot in the shoulder, Fox News reported.

Injury attorney Thomas Henry, who is representing the families of the 9- and 10-year-old victims, said he is investigating the guns and ammunition used.

"This initial lawsuit will allow us to discover evidence and possibly add other parties to the lawsuit, if necessary," Henry wrote in a press release Monday.

"The discovery process will focus on the school system, law enforcement, social media, and gun and ammunition manufacturers," he noted.

"Each of these children have undergone extensive medical care. Some have undergone multiple surgeries," according to the lawsuit. "They have all suffered severe physical injuries and unimaginable emotional trauma. They witnessed their friends and teachers being shot and dying in front of them."

The victims' families are demanding a jury trial and are accusing the 18-year-old gunman of malice, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

Henry is also considering legal action against "all responsible parties for possible constitutional rights violations, gun law violations, and violations of laws, policies, and procedures pertaining to school safety," the press release states.

"The one thing that is vital in our country right now is ensuring our children go to school and come home safe," Henry said. "We want to obtain justice for the families that have been devastated by this shooting and ensure we have swift changes that protect our children while they are at school."

Ramos' mother Adriana Reyes is named as a potential defendant since her son does not have an official estate representative yet.

Henry successfully secured $230 million in February in a case against the federal government on behalf of some victims of the November 2017 Sutherland Springs First Baptist Church shooting.
