After eleven-year-old William Robinson was shot by an unknown assailant with a BB gun, his parents sued Sacred Heart School for failing to provide a safe environment.
Since the school had door buzzers, alarms, cameras, and, its personnel had been instructed to seal all doors and permit entry by buzzer only, the Westchester County Supreme Court granted the school's dismissal request.
On appeal, the Appellate Division, Second Department, agreed that the case couldn't continue since "minimal security measures" had been implemented. (Apparently, the appellate court didn't think the incident was foreseeable or that liability had been triggered in this particular instance.)
Sacre bleu!
