Family of teen killed in shooting sue Tuskegee University for wrongful death

Tuskegee Shooting - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

The parents of an 18-year-old who was killed in a hail of gunfire at Tuskegee University filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday, saying the school failed to provide adequate security measures that could have prevented the fatal shooting.

Tamika and Larry Johnson's son, La'Tavion Johnson, 18, was shot and killed while attending a party to celebrate the end of the school's 100th homecoming week outside a dormitory on campus in the early hours of Nov. 10. The flurry of gunfire sent students and visitors running. At least 16 people were injured.
