It sounds very much like a pure nuisance suit just trying to shake ( extort)!some money from a “deeper pocket” than maybe the proper defendant may have.

I wonder if some Bloombergian donor has been backstopping this suit all along. That way, the parents can pretend to whine about the $250K with no actual risk to themselves, and they can be used to make the case for repealing "loser pays" laws nationally. The anti-2As have been itching to use this phony liability concept on gun-makers for years.

your guess is probably correct
