Oklahoma City, OK — As TFTP reported last year, a rather disturbing scene unfolded in Oklahoma City as police officers attempting to kill a robbery suspect opened fire on four small children, shooting three of them. For months, the family and residents demanded answers and the police remained silent. Now, after the police have refused to hold anyone accountable, the mother of the three children who were shot is seeking legal action int he form of a lawsuit.
The Free Thought Project has learned that Olivia Hill has filed a tort claim against the city of Hugo. The claim was filed last month against the city, in which Hill is seeking unspecified monetary damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish and emotional distress, current and future medical bills and counseling, and damages to the truck.
“The shooting was objectively unreasonable, unnecessary, and reckless or negligent, and the City of Hugo and other members of the (Hugo Police Department) were negligent in hiring, training, and supervising the Officers who perpetrated it,” according to the claim.
According to WPSD, medical records say a bullet pierced the left frontal lobe of 4-year-old Asia Jacobs’ brain. Her 5-year-old brother suffered a skull fracture and her 1-year-old sister was left with deep facial cuts. Asia’s 2-year-old brother was not hit.
The children’s mother, Olivia Hill, says: “Emotionally, they’re not OK. Physically, they’re here.” However, Hill notes that their injuries are substantial.
Not until six days after the shooting did police release any information as to what happened. While they have refused to elaborate on any video of the incident, we now know that the suspect William Devaughn Smith, 21, did not fire on police before police opened fire on the truck full of children. Also, we now know that police were in an unmarked car and not in uniform when they approached Smith.........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/mother-files-tort-claim-cops-dump-26-truck-children/
