The state of Washington has been accused of deleting emails between expert witnesses in a lawsuit over the 2014 Oso landslide. Attorneys for victims of the landslide say that state attorneys orchestrated "a fraud" by deleting the emails sent among expert defense witnesses. A motion filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court cites "a secret pact by the State’s experts, with the blessing of the Attorney General, to systematically destroy emails and repeatedly deceive … about what they were doing."

Lawsuit Filed Over Shooting Instructor's Death by Girl with Uzi
spacer image
An Arizona shooting range is facing a lawsuit by the family of a shooting instructor who was accidentally killed by a young girl with an Uzi. The instructor was shot in the head when the 9-year-old girl shot the Uzi submachine gun and it recoiled. The lawsuit was filed against the owners and operators at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills and accuses them of negligence in the fatal incident. As alleged by the plaintiffs, the Uzi was not an appropriate weapon to allow a young girl to operate at the range.
