Concertgoers file lawsuits

LEGAL action following the mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert last month is picking up with lawsuits filed yesterday on behalf of 14 concertgoers, including some who were shot or injured trying to escape and one who is so traumatised that she has since mistaken the sound of rain for gunshots.

The hotel-casino from where Stephen Paddock fired, concert organisers and the makers and sellers of a bump stock gun accessory that enabled him to fire rapidly are named as defendants. It’s argued that they all share blame.
