Couple Not Liable For Damages In 2014 Shooting, Wyoming Supreme Court says – Sheridan Media
By Jim Angell, Cowboy State Daily The residents of a home from which a Cheyenne teenager stole a handgun used to kill a man in 2014 had no way to know the gun would be stolen or used in a murder and are not liable for damages, Wyoming’s Supreme Court ruled Thursday. Justices upheld a lower court’s ruling dismissing a lawsuit against the mother of Phillip Sam and her boyfriend, agreeing they could not know that Sam posed a threat to Tyler Burns, 19. Sam was convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Burns in October 2014 in Cheyenne.
