Survivors of a mass shooting in Toronto and their relatives can proceed with a class-action lawsuit against the gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson, says Ontario's top court.
Two people were killed and 13 injured when a gunman went on a shooting rampage on Danforth Avenue in July 2018.
Some of the survivors and their families brought a class action against the gunmaker for failing to implement technology that would prevent unauthorized use of the gun.
The plaintiffs welcomed the ruling and said they are seeking justice through safer handguns and corporate accountability.
“Handgun manufacturers like Smith & Wesson have long known their products can be designed to prevent the type of unlawful use that led to the Danforth shooting,” they said in a statement.
