Texas Jurors Deliberate Parental Accountability in 2018 School Shooting

Jurors in Texas are considering whether the parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis, accused of a 2018 school shooting that left 10 dead, should be held financially responsible. The lawsuit claims the parents did not do enough to support their son's mental health or prevent his access to firearms. Lawyers for the parents argue they couldn't foresee the tragedy.

Jurors in Texas resumed deliberations Monday on the accountability of the parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who is accused of fatally shooting 10 people in a 2018 school attack near Houston.

The lawsuit, filed by victims' families, seeks to hold the parents financially liable, alleging they failed to support their son's mental health and secure their firearms.

Plaintiffs claim the parents' negligence enabled the shooting, while defense attorneys argue the tragedy was unforeseeable and the firearms were locked up.
