The families of eight people killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012 have filed new lawsuits against the estate of Nancy Lanza, the mother of the young gunman. The two lawsuits filed in Superior Court in Bridgeport claim that Lanza was careless in allowing her son to get his hands on an unsecured Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle that he used in the rampage.
Lanza was killed by her son, Adam Lanza, in their Newtown home before he drove to the school and killed 20 first-graders and six teachers. Nancy Lanza had an insurance policy on the home worth more than $1 million, and the two lawsuits are essentially notices of claims for that policy.
