The Mother of a Tennessee Teen Killed at School by Police Files a Lawsuit
The mother of a teenage boy who was killed by police in his Tennessee high school has filed a federal lawsuit over the shooting.
Chanada Robinson filed suit Monday against the city of Knoxville, the Knoxville Police Department and the Knox County Board of Education in the death of her 17-year-old son, Anthony Thompson Jr., last year at Austin-East High School, news outlets reported.
The suit alleges officers didn’t follow proper training and procedures, didn’t provide appropriate medical care and weren’t properly trained on de-escalation tactics.
