MERIDEN, Connecticut (Reuters) - A $100 million claim on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor is the first legal action to come out of the Connecticut school shooting that left 26 children and adults dead two weeks ago.

The unidentified client, referred to as Jill Doe, heard "cursing, screaming, and shooting" over the school intercom when the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, opened fire, according to the claim filed by New Haven-based attorney Irv Pinsky.

"As a consequence, the ... child has sustained emotional and psychological trauma and injury, the nature and extent of which are yet to be determined," the claim said.

Pinsky said he filed a claim on Thursday with state Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr., whose office must give permission before a lawsuit can be filed against the state.

"We all know its going to happen again," Pinsky said on Friday. "Society has to take action."

These idiots keep supporting gun control and electing liberal morons
Like Joe Liberman. Same crap happens here in Jersey and they want to export their madness all over the country. Don’t waste sympathy on people like these.

Thanks for your logical response. If Nancy had managed to file papers to have him committed, that might have provided an avenue for suing her estate.

I wonder whether any big shooting survivors have successfully sued the schools, theaters, malls that were crime scenes for not having proper security, whatever that might be.

Maybe the State of Connecticut could be required to provide counseling for traumatized kids for a year or two. Clearly those kids are going to need help from someone. I can’t even imagine having my 6-year-old brother shot into hamburger by some evil idiot. If I were nine, how would I get over it?

This quibble signifies exactly what?

Are you attempting to argufy that being able to recognize a curse renders it meaningless?
