How does one recognize a payout over a school shooting. I mean, if you get shot walking through the mall ... it's not like the government is going to pay your family $3mil for that. Why do it because it happened at a school?
If there was some kind of problem related to the school, why are the taxpayers on the hook? Why doesn't this come out of the school budget? Or the security guard's paychecks? Or the sheriff's ... or his deputy's?
Stoopid happens more often than I care to see it.
Are the Schools not liable and responsible for your child's welfare and safety whilst they are on the premises?
If so that may be the reason such a pay-out is warranted.
Same way as if you are in a shopping mall and one of the roof tiles falls and injures you, you can sue them for a decent amount.
I would have though it would have came out of the schools budget all the same as opposed to the public purse.
