Remington, the gunmaker being sued by several families of Sandy Hook victims for wrongful death, has issued a subpoena to get the academic, attendance and discipline records of five first-grade students who were killed during the 2012 mass shooting. The gunmaker also issued a subpoena for the employment files of four educators who were killed.
The subpoena pertaining to the five deceased students specifically requested "application and admission paperwork, attendance records, transcripts, report cards [and] disciplinary records," according to court documents. "The records cannot possibly excuse Remington's egregious marketing conduct, or be of any assistance in estimating the catastrophic damages in this case," the plaintiffs' attorney Joshua Koskoff said in a statement to CBS News. "The only relevant part of their attendance records is that they were at their desks on December 14, 2012."President Joe Biden said France was America's "first friend" at its founding and is one of its closest allies more than two centuries later as he was honored with a state visit Saturday by French President Emmanuel Macron aimed at showing off their partnership on global security issues and easing past trade tensions.
