The parents of Nashville college student Jillian Ludwig, who was struck and killed by a stray bullet in 2023, are accusing government and school officials of negligence.
"They protect the criminals and not the innocent victims." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business. Email tips to audrey.conklin@fox.com or on Twitter at @audpants.
The defendants include the city of Nashville, the state of Tennessee, the Nashville Metro Development and Housing Agency (MDHA), Belmont University, state or city employees who examined shooting suspect Shaquille Latrelle Taylor's mental health, a gun supplier that sold a firearm to Taylor and others.
Ludwig "was considered by many music professionals to be a budding star" at the time of her death, the lawsuit states. She played six instruments, was a member of three bands and performed at well-known venues in Nashville.
