Court Lessens Liability In Baumhammers Shootings Suit

The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that an insurance company could be responsible for paying only $300,000 to the six families who have filed lawsuits against the parents of a convicted killer from Mt. Lebanon who went on a hate-filled shooting spree.

The high court agreed with lower court rulings that a homeowners insurance policy held by Andrejs and Inese Baumhammers covers actions by their son, Richard Baumhammers, a former attorney who shot and killed five people and left a sixth paralyzed during the April 2000 rampage.
