A civil trial in Galveston, Texas, is underway against the parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who is accused of using their unsecured weapons in the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting that killed 10 people. The lawsuit, filed by the families of victims, seeks at least $1 million in damages, claiming the parents knew of their son's emotional distress and failed to secure firearms. Pagourtzis, now 23, has been declared incompetent to stand trial for the shooting and has been in a mental health facility since 2019. Opening statements were expected to begin as the jury selection process continued, with potential jurors questioned for the case. Attorneys for the victims' families expressed hope for justice, while legal representation for Pagourtzis' parents denied negligence allegations, citing his mental health issues. The outcome of this trial could set precedents for parental responsibility in school shootings.
