Parents should be held liable.

For what? Having a gun in their house?

Kid didn't buy it alone, if he bought it. And parents are responsible for their children. It happened on school grounds. If there is a gun crime in Florida involving a minor resulting in death, the parents are liable. At least thats how it used to be.

Not only that, it was a "pellet" gun.

I don't think they should be liable. Losing a kid is punishment enough but.....

Florida has a law regarding locking up firearms to keep them out of the hands of minors. I don't know if a pellet gun will count under that law or not. Interesting point of discussion.
