An attorney for the parents of a Texas student accused of a 2018 school shooting near Houston told trial jurors that they were unaware of their son's impending psychotic breakdown. The victims' lawsuit seeks financial accountability from Dimitrios Pagourtzis and his parents for the tragic events at Santa Fe High School on May 18, 2018, with damages totaling at least $1 million.
The jury began deliberations on Friday and is set to resume on Monday morning. The lawsuit alleges that Pagourtzis' parents failed to provide adequate mental health support and did not sufficiently prevent him from accessing their firearms, which were used in the shooting that claimed the lives of eight students and two teachers.
