Taft School Shooting Lawsuit Update

A Taft High School shooting from 2013 sparked a legal firestorm: a 16-year-old brought a shotgun to school, injuring a student whose family won nearly $4 million. The school district blamed the city for failing to send a police officer — a breach of contract — and sued. Initially losing, they appealed and won partial relief: the city may pay attorney fees, but not the victim’s settlement. The city fiercely denies wrongdoing, and now the California Supreme Court must decide whether to even hear the case — with a potential new trial looming over legal costs.
