Little Rock clubgoer's lawsuit tells of terror on night of mass shooting
A Little Rock man who says he was forced to jump out of a second-story window on his 29th birthday to escape the mass shooting at a downtown club in July has sued the now-defunct establishment, its proprietor and the company that owns the building.
Patrick Dwight Hardy was shot in the arm and suffered physically scarring injuries from the shooting and subsequent confusion, according to the 15-page lawsuit filed Tuesday.
Hardy is suing for compensatory and punitive damages for his pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of income from work and disfigurement from being shot, the suit states. Hardy's attorney, Josh Gillespie, is petitioning Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza for a jury trial.
