US: 1 killed and 5 injured in shooting at a New York subway station: NY Police

Ilene Steur, one of the victims of the April New York subway shooting is suing gunmaker Glock, manufacturer of the firearm used in the attack. The perpetrator of the Subway attack had used a Glock 17, 9mm pistol purchased in 2011, in Ohio State. The lawsuit comes as the United States is still reeling from two high-profile mass shootings this month. One at a Buffalo, New York supermarket that killed ten people and another at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school that led to the death of&nbsp;21 people; 19 students and 2 teachers.&nbsp;One of the 10 people shot on April 12, Ilene says that the gunmaker uses its marketing efforts to appeal to criminals.

She has filed a civil suit in the federal court, where she has accused the Austrian company Glock of using "marketing that emphasises firearm characteristics such as their high capacity and ease of concealment, that appeal to prospective purchasers with criminal intent."

Steur also alleges that the company neglected to instruct dealers on how to avoid illegal firearms acquisitions and also intentionally supplied more firearms than the legitimate market could bear in order to stimulate secondary market sales.

"Gun manufacturers do not live in a bubble," said Mark Shirian, one of Steur's attorneys.
