Teen shot five times at Stoneman Douglas High plans to sue BSO, school system

A 15-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor and his family have put Broward County authorities on notice that they will sue to seek money damages to help cover the cost of his recovery.

Attorney Alex Arreaza filed the letter on behalf of Anthony Borges, who was shot five times, including in both of his legs.

“These kids at this school were let down at just about every level,” Arreaza said.

The suit, when it is filed, could be the first of many stemming from the tragedy that took 17 lives on Valentines Day. Confessed shooter Nikolas Cruz entered his former school and opened fire with an AR-15, killing 14 students and three faculty members.

Won't win.  Already established that police departments have no obligation to protect those who pay their salaries.

He may have some success, depending on case venue, against the school system and its Broward Co Collaborative Agreement on School Discipline.

You may be correct, if that's who they go after.  The Sheriff's Office not so much.

Might prove useful for this to come out, again, in that many who believe the police have an obligation will find out they don't.  Terrible that it took 17 dead for it to come out though.

If the court case brings that BS into greater light it will have been a success IMHO!

He may not win, but it will be very messy for the Sheriff and school to have to defend themselves. Should be fun to watch.
