The lawsuit is among more than a dozen filed since the Oct. 1, 2017, shooting at the Route 91 Harvest music festival, though it's the first to target a gun maker.
The family of a woman killed by a gunman raining down gunfire from a Las Vegas high-rise hotel suite filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday against eight gun makers and three dealers arguing their weapons are designed in a way that could be easily modified to fire like automatic weapons.
The lawsuit charges the manufacturers showed a "reckless lack of regard for public safety" by advertising the firearms "as military weapons and signaling the weapon's ability to be simply modified." The lawsuit alleges there are dozens of videos online showing people how to install bump stocks on their AR-15 style rifles.
Neither Colt nor any of the other manufacturers immediately responded to requests for comment from The Associated Press. The Las Vegas shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, opened fire on the crowd of 22,000 from his suite in a tower of the Mandalay Bay casino-resort. Police and the FBI say Paddock acted alone and killed himself before officers reached his hotel room.
