A group of students of the Parkland, Fla., high school where a gunman killed 17 people is suing Broward County law enforcement and local officials, arguing their failure to stop the shooter and safeguard the school violated their constitutional rights.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court Wednesday by 15 students on behalf of their parents and names as defendants Broward Sheriff Scott Israel, Broward County Public Schools superintendent Robert Runcie, and retired Broward Court deputy Scot Peterson, a school resource officer who was on campus the day of the shooting, among others.

The students were all in attendance at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14 when the suspected shooter, Nikolas Cruz, opened fire. According to court filings, the students suffered “severe phycological injury and trauma.”

The lawsuit accuses Broward County officials of acting with “extreme deliberate indifference to” the students’ constitutional rights “by knowingly failing to engage with a recognized threat and intentionally evading his duties to protect the students and staff of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.”
