Virginia and the Town of Blacksburg receive notices for possible lawsuits related to Virginia Tech shootings.
The lawyer representing 20 of the families of victims who were either killed or wounded during the April 16 shootings gave the town of Blacksburg notice that lawsuits may be filed against them and the state.
Peter Grenier, a Washington D.C. personal injury attorney gave notice to Blacksburg Town attorney Larry Spencer Friday stating that he may file lawsuits claiming negligence by the town and its employees.
These notices do not necessarily entail that lawsuits will be filed, but in order for the possibility of a filed lawsuit, a notice must be given within six months of the shootings.
Attorneys have one year to give a notice for a lawsuit against Virginia Tech. Thus far, the university has not received any lawsuits.
