One of the victims of the Airbnb mass shooting in April 2022 has filed another lawsuit.
The plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging negligence on the part of Airbnb, 900 North Group, and K&C Ventures. The plaintiff is a woman who was one of over 200 people, many of whom were minors, who attended the Airbnb party.
According to the lawsuit, the three groups did not take any steps to ensure that the property was monitored or used for its intended purposes. According to the lawsuit, the lady was injured while attempting to flee the building in Pittsburgh's East Allegheny neighborhood.
According to the plaintiff's attorney, Airbnb was aware of the party but chose to ignore it because it was in their best interests to make money by letting others rent out their properties.
In a statement, Airbnb stated that it shares the Pittsburgh community's outrage over the tragic gun violence. Its heart goes out to everyone who was affected, including loved ones of those who died, injured victims, and neighbours. Airbnb strictly prohibits parties and condemns the alleged behaviour that led to this criminal gun violence. Airbnb has issued a lifetime ban to the booking guest, and the company will consider all legal options to hold this person accountable.
The April 17 shooting killed two teenagers and injured several others, including the plaintiff, who, according to the lawsuit, jumped out a second-story window to avoid the gunfire. No one has been charged or arrested.
