Lawsuit Accuses Collin County Bar of Negligence After Drunk Patron Fatally Shoots 8 People
Can a bar be held responsible for the actions of its intoxicated patrons? One lawsuit seems to think so. A lawsuit filed earlier this year accuses the Local Public House, a bar in Collin County, Texas, of “negligence for serving alcohol to a man who later killed his estranged wife and seven other people…at a home during a football watch party.” The lawsuit itself was filed by one of the surviving victims and alleges the “gunman, Spencer Hight, went drinking at Local Public House in Plano twice the afternoon of the shooting.”
