The decision drew attention from land and business owners, who worried about shouldering liability in future mass-shooting attacks. A shooting at a family planning clinic in the US town of Colorado Springs leaves two civilians and a policeman dead, with the suspected gunman arrested. The Colorado Supreme Court in June 2020 ruled in a split 4-3 decision that the issue of civil liability should be determined by a jury, rather than a judge, with the majority of justices finding it was possible a reasonable juror might find Planned Parenthood responsible to some degree for the attack. The victims of the shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs that left three people dead and nine wounded were preliminarily identified by local authorities on Sunday. The lawsuit was brought by victims of the shooting, who argued that Planned Parenthood should have foreseen such an attack and taken better security measures to prevent it, in part because the clinic and others nationwide had been receiving escalating threats of violence at the time.Īttorneys for Planned Parenthood countered that no one could have stopped Dear’s “fanatical rampage” and argued there were no reasonable security measures that could have deterred him. The six-person civil jury ruled Planned Parenthood could not be held civilly responsible for the attack, in which confessed shooter Robert Dear killed three people and wounded nine others during a violent rampage. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains could not have anticipated or reasonably prevented a 2015 mass shooting at its Colorado Springs clinic, a jury decided Wednesday, bringing an end to a 5-year-long lawsuit that at one point made its way up to the Colorado Supreme Court. New federal charges against the man accused of attacking a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs four years ago brought as state charges are stalled by questions about his mental competency may not lead to a faster outcome in the case.
