PAINESVILLE - On the one-year anniversary of their child's death, the parents of three students fatally shot at Chardon High School filed suit today against the gunman, T.J. Lane, and his family.
In a wrongful death lawsuit filed in Lake County Common Pleas Court, the parents accused Lane's parents, maternal grandparents and an uncle of negligently failing to supervise and control Lane, which "facilitated, encouraged and/or allowed" the shooting to occur.
They "knew or should have known that their negligent actions and omissions would result in severe physical and emotional injuries" to Daniel Parmertor, Russell King, Jr. and Demetrius Hewlin, the lawsuit alleged.
Last December, T.J. Lane's family testified in a pretrial hearing that they couldn't believe he would have done such a thing.
"Not for a minute did I believe it was T.J.," Sarah Nolan, his mother, testified in Geauga County Common Pleas Court, according to the Plain Dealer. "Honestly, I thought he was being wrongly accused."
T.J. Lane pleaded guilty yesterday to the three murders as well as two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault as part of a plea deal that may result in him being locked up for the rest of his life.
The lawsuit names as defendants:
• T.J. Lane, a student at Lake Academy in Willoughby who shot and killed the three while changing buses at Chardon High School;
• his parents, Thomas Lane, Jr. and Sarah Nolan;
•his maternal grandparents, Jack and Carole Nolan, who were the custodial guardians of T.J. Lane at the time of the shooting; and
•his uncle, John Bruening, who owned the .22-caliber handgun that T.J. Lane used in the shooting.
The families of the victims each filed claims against T.J. Lane's relatives for wrongful death, negligent supervision and statutory provisions that make parents liable for willful and malicious assaults by their children.
The families are seeking sums in excess of $25,000, which is the minimum required to file a lawsuit in Common Pleas Court.
