HARTFORD, Conn. – Lawyers suing gun sellers and manufacturers on behalf of 10 families of Sandy Hook shooting victims are seeking to reverse a decision to hear the case in federal court rather than in a Connecticut Superior Court.

The lawsuit was filed in December by the law firm Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, which is representing family members of some of the victims who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012, when a gunman entered the school and murdered 20 children and six educators.

The complaint alleges wrongful death and negligence on the part of Bushmaster Firearms, the company that manufactured the weapon used in the shootings, as well as the weapon’s distributor and seller.
