HALIFAX—Families of victims of a mass shooting are hoping to gain a small measure of justice by suing the estate of the dead gunman, says a lawyer working on a civil action.
Robert Pineo said that as of Friday morning there were nine families seeking to certify a class action lawsuit against the estate of Gabriel Wortman, asking the court for compensation for the deaths and damage he caused during his rampage on April 18 and 19.
