DENVER (Reuters) - The parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shooting rampage filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against four companies that sold the accused gunman James Holmes ammunition, body armor and other gear used in the massacre.
Sandy and Lonnie Phillips, the parents of Jessica Ghawi, say the retailers including BulkAmmo.com, which sold Holmes more than 4,300 rounds of ammunition, were negligent when they sold the items to "a patently dangerous homicidal man."
Ghawi, a 24-year-old aspiring sports broadcaster, was one of 12 people killed in July 2012 when Holmes opened fire inside a suburban Denver theater during a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."
"As gunowners, parents, and citizens of this country, we hope that our lawsuit will spare other families the tragedy that we have gone through after the death of our beautiful daughter," Sandy Phillips said in a statement.

I hope they sued the company that made his shoes and his underwear. Also, the company that made the vehicle he drove to the massacre and the company that made the fuel for that vehicle as well.
Also, the companies that made the ammo, made the cases, gunpowder and primers in the ammo, and the companies that smelted the metal in the cases and the chemicals in the primers and gunpower.
