The lawsuits were filed by the families of 14 of those who died and two who survived and made the claim that she purchased the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and kept it in her home, where her son had access to it.

The lawsuits allege that the mother “knew or should have known that (Adam Lanza’s) mental and emotional condition made him a danger to others.”
