Two wounded students are taking their first steps to sue over the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

The law firm representing 15-year-old Kyle Laman sent a letter of its intent to sue the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the FBI, the Broward School Board and other defendants.

Kyle is the second student to file notice this week.

Separately, student survivor Anthony Borges, 15, and his parents notified Broward County Administrator Bertha Henry of their plan to sue. The notice claims negligence on the parts of Broward County Public Schools, Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ principal and its school resource officer.

Kyle and Anthony were among the 16 wounded in the Feb. 14 shooting that left 17 people dead.

“Kyle is still dealing with memories of the terror he felt when his classroom was locked and he was stuck in the hallway during the shooting,” a spokesman for The Berman Law Group, which is representing him, wrote in a statement. “The teacher couldn't get the door open fast enough. Everyone was running scared. Kyle looked at the gunman staring right back at him, and instinctively jumped for cover.

“The bullets were flying, and doctors told his mom one tore though his ankle and foot.”

Photos: Marjory Stoneman Douglas students and teachers return to school The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School return to their classrooms Wednesday, two weeks after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz killed 17 staff and students and wounded 16 in one of the nation’s worst school shootings.. Kyle has undergone two surgeries to reconstruct the ligaments damaged as one of the bullets from Nikolas Cruz’s AR-15 tore through his right ankle and foot.

Kyle told his family that Cruz looked him in the eye and started shooting. He was hospitalized until March 1.

Democrats are focused on the gun. Ignoring the complete failure of government.

Don't forget the Obama Holder “no child gets a felony for money program” for Broward County School System.

Fewer Laws, fewer criminals?
Delusional Democrats and their wacky ways!

All three are guilty. The school admin/it’s teacher’s union, the sheriff, and the FBI.

Sorry ladies and gents i guess i could have worked a bit better on my spelling of Florida. Anyways, the agreement allows criminal elements to run wild on that and other campuses.

Excellent. At least these kids and their families recognize where the blame should be placed. Not like that poor ignorant tool David Hogg, who has jumped right into a role as useful idiot for leftist totalitarians.

I hope other students at the school join the lawsuits.

I certainly hope these families have followed that bit of advice about being careful not to select Democrat lawyers that are connected to the Rat politicians in the area.

They should sue the federal government for its role in the implication of policies that prevented the school and law enforcement from doing its job. Sue All OF THEM.

I believe that the FBI is named in the lawsuit.

The gun didn’t kill these kids, liberalism did. This is going to be an interesting trial when all the cover-up is revealed.

Amen.

I’m thankful these kids are filing suit. One of the first things I’d suggested, but someone (here) said you cannot sue a school district.

Btw, why hasn’t this Sheriff been suspended, yet? He won’t do the right thing and resign.

Because he is a hardworking Soros puppet.

Because he's a supreme intellectual. His immortal words are wisdom for the ages: "If ifs and butts were candy and nuts OJ Simpson would still be in the record books". Actually he ripped off that line from fmr Dallas QB and sports commentator Dandy Don Meredith, "If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas."
