WDBJ files motion to dismiss shooting survivor's lawsuit

Read full article: WDBJ files motion to dismiss shooting survivor's lawsuit

ROANOKE, Va. - WDBJ has filed a motion to have the lawsuit filed against the station by the woman who survived the deadly 2015 attack that killed two local journalists dismissed. In an amended lawsuit, Vicki Gardner is suing WDBJ for $6 million in damages. WDBJ's motion to dismiss, filed Friday, seeks to have Gardner's case dismissed with prejudice. WDBJ contends the lawsuit "fails to state a cause of action and fails to state facts sufficient to support a cause of action against WDBJ for negligent hiring and negligent retention." Furthermore, because Vester Flanagan was not a WDBJ employee at the time of the shooting, "an employer does not act through its former employees; therefore, the torts of negligent hiring and negligent retention do not apply in situations where there is no active employment.

The suit claims WDBJ never performed a background check when it hired Flanagan. At this time, the suit claims Gardner's medical expenses due to the shooting have totaled $221,850.
