Students Injured in Brown University Campus Shooting Suing School, Alleging Security Failures

Three students who were injured in the December campus shooting at Brown University are each suing the Ivy League school, alleging it ignored prior warnings about the shooter and did not provide adequate security that could have prevented the tragedy.

The lawsuits, which were filed last week in Rhode Island Superior Court, allege that the unnamed plaintiffs have suffered because Brown failed to maintain “reasonable and appropriate security measures.”
