Two companies that sold ammunition to the accused Santa Fe High School shooter have reached a settlement with families of victims of the May 2018 massacre.
and a related company, Red Stag Fulfillment, LLC, in 2020 were sued by Santa Fe families, who accused the companies of enabling “illegal and negligent actions” by selling and shipping more than 100 rounds of handgun ammunition to then-17-year-old Dimitrious Pagourtzis.Under federal law, it's illegal to for people younger than 18 years old to buy handgun ammunition. Licensed dealers are prohibited from selling ammunition to people younger than 21 years old.
“Age-verification for ammunition sales is a no-brainer, especially when the sale is conducted online,” said Alla Lefkowitz, the senior director of affirmative litigation at Everytown Law. “It simply should not be possible for a minor to go online and have ammunition shipped to their house, no questions asked. As we work to hold the gun industry accountable for its role in the gun violence epidemic, other online sellers should follow Luckygunner’s lead and implement age verification processes.
Last year, the Texas Supreme Court rejected Luckygunner's efforts to claim it was immune from lawsuit under federal law. That decision led to the settlement. Other terms of the agreement are confidential, according to the Everytown press release.
