Arkansas Grocery Store Shooter Sued by Injured Victim

A lawsuit has been filed against Travis Eugene Posey, the man accused of a mass shooting on June 21 at the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce, Arkansas, that left four dead. Posey faces charges of four counts of capital murder and 11 counts of attempted capital murder. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody without bond.

The suit, initiated by Brittney Sullivent, one of the injured victims, and her husband Jeromy, seeks financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and additional expenses due to the incident. Sullivent sustained significant injuries, including head and arm wounds, hearing loss, and permanent disfigurement. The lawsuit highlights that ongoing medical treatments are needed.

Armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, a pistol, and a bandolier filled with extra rounds, Posey allegedly initiated the attack by opening fire in the parking lot, subsequently entering the store and shooting randomly at customers and employees. Authorities have yet to determine Posey's motive. Posey's next court appearance is scheduled in October. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
