EAST LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The lawsuits against Michigan State University claiming its lack of safety protocols lead, in part, to the February 13 mass shooting on campus keep piling up.
A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Yukai “John” Hao, one of victims who was left paralyzed due to his injuries.

The lawsuit, filed by the firm Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman, alleges that MSU, its Public Safety Department and its Infrastructure Planning and Facilities Department “acted with gross negligence and failed to take reasonable steps to protect students and visitors on its campus from harm.”
In addition, the lawsuit filed on June 5 and processed by the Court of Claims on June 20 says MSU failed to install locks on the inside of classroom doors. It claims MSU had a lack of security guards to monitor access to campus buildings
Hao joins several other victims who have filed a lawsuit against the university. Two other injured students, Nate Statly and Troy Forbush, filed intent to sue claims last week and cited similar concerns as Hao. The family of slain student Alexandria Verner also filed intent to sue documents.
The gun killed three students and injured five others in the shooting before killing himself.
