Victims and their families have filed lawsuits against the nightclub and the sheriff's office, citing negligence in enforcing Colorado's red-flag law which could have prevented the shooting.
The complaints argue that the El Paso county sheriff's office ignored warning signs indicating the gunman's intent to commit violence, allowing him to still possess firearms.
El Paso county's refusal to enforce the red-flag law, despite its implementation in 2019, is highlighted in the lawsuits as a key factor contributing to the tragedy.
Concerns about the shooter's history of threats and violent intentions were evident as far back as 2021, yet authorities failed to act on clear warning signs.
