In a civil lawsuit stemming from the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting, jurors are deliberating whether the parents of shooter Dimitrios Pagourtzis should be held financially liable for their son's actions, which resulted in the deaths of 10 people. Victims' attorneys argue that Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos neglected their son's mental health and failed to secure their firearms, enabling the tragedy. The lawsuit seeks at least $1 million in damages, emphasizing that the parents' inaction contributed to the shooting. Defense attorneys contend that Pagourtzis' severe mental illness made his actions unforeseeable and uncontrollable. The jury's decision could set a precedent for future cases involving parental responsibility in school shootings. Pagourtzis, now 23, has been declared incompetent to stand trial in the criminal case and remains in a state mental health facility.
