The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to block a lawsuit brought by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting against Remington, the firearms manufacturer that made the AR-15 rifle used in the shooting.
The high court rejected an appeal from Remington Arms Co. and will allow the lawsuit against the company, brought by one survivor and relatives of nine victims, to proceed at the state level.
The 2012 massacre by a 20-year-old lone male left 20 students and six educators dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Remington argued that a 2005 federal law prevents it from liability in case one of its weapons is used in a crime.
