In six days of testimony, experts in security, former John McDonogh students, teachers, and administrators, police and school security officers, and others provided graphic testimony about the events of that day, one of the worst school shootings in America. An expert in school security who had worked other infamous school shootings, including Columbine, testified that the School Board had taken all reasonable steps to establish and maintain a safe and secure campus environment at John McDonogh. Other witnesses testified to the deliberate nature of the assailants' actions and the actions of teachers and administrators immediately following the assault.
Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Robin Giarusso ruled in favor of Orleans Parish School Board, indicating that no additional actions on the part of the School Board likely would have prevented the brazen mid-day attack. Giarusso called the attacks "unexpected, unprecedented, and unforeseeable" and that "no place could have prevented [the] gangland-style assassination." A copy of the complete judgment is attached.
