Jury Clears Parents in Santa Fe Shooting Case
News summary

A Texas jury has found the parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the shooter responsible for the 2018 Santa Fe High School massacre, not liable for the incident. The families of the victims had sued Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos, arguing they failed to prevent their son from accessing firearms and did not address his mental health issues. Jurors instead placed financial responsibility on Dimitrios and an ammunition retailer, awarding over $300 million in damages to the families. The verdict has left many relatives of the victims disappointed and frustrated, feeling that justice was not served and that a precedent was missed. The shooter, deemed incompetent to stand trial, remains in a state mental health facility.
