A Connecticut Superior Court judge has denied a motion by a gun maker to dismiss the lawsuit filed by families of victims in the Sandy Hook school shooting. Lawyers for the victims’ families are calling the ruling a “huge victory” in their effort to hold Remington Arms, the maker of the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle used by Adam Lanza, responsible for the Sandy Hook massacre.

“We are thrilled that the gun companies’ motion to dismiss was denied,” said one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, Josh Koskoff of Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder in Bridgeport. “The families look forward to continuing their fight in court.”
