BUFFALO, N.Y.
Shooting victim sues Dayton gun-maker
An appeals court in New York has ruled that a former high-school athlete who was shot in 2003 can sue the companies that made and distributed the handgun used in the crime.
The ruling reverses a lower court’s dismissal of Buffalo victim Daniel Williams’ complaint. Williams claimed that Dayton gun-maker Hi-Point and distributor MKS Supply intentionally supplied handguns to irresponsible dealers for profit. The gun used to shoot Williams was bought at a gun show by a Buffalo gun dealer.
Hi-Point attorney Scott Allan says Hi-Point sells guns only to federally licensed distributors and complied with all statutes.
