A Texas couple injured in the mass shooting last month at an El Paso Walmart has sued the superstore on grounds it failed to provide adequate security to prevent the attack.
"If Walmart had taken its responsibilities to its customers seriously, it would have had a visible security presence that would have stopped the shooter from coming to Walmart and killing all those people," the couple's attorney, Patrick Luff, told ABC News. In response to the lawsuit, Walmart spokesman Randy Hargraves said in a statement to ABC News:"This tragic event will be with us forever and our hearts go out to the families that were impacted. Safety is a top priority and we care deeply about our associates and customers. We preserved what information we have, and we’ve worked meticulously with federal and local authorities as they documented everything that took place on August 3.
Jessica Garcia's father, Don Coca, told the El Paso Times that he believes that had Walmart provided armed security on the premises, things"would have turned out different."
