The families lawyer says in a news release the amendments to the proposed class action were made following the Dec. 4 criminal charges laid against the three, alleging they illegally supplied ammunition to the gunman.
Police have said the alleged ammunition offences occurred in the month before the April 18-19 killings but that those charged had no prior knowledge of what the gunman, Gabriel Wortman, intended to do.
However, Sandra McCulloch, a lawyer for the families, says in a news release there is support for possible civil liability between these parties and the families and individuals we represent, and she says the step was taken in order to preserve their rights as further details emerge.
