Nelson Robles v. Metropolitan Dade County

no.02-132

Dade County



In November 1995 Nicholas Sang hijacked a bus occupied by 13 children who had disabilities. A Metropolitan Dade police sharpshooter later fired a shot, striking Sang, but also sending a spray of glass and metal into the bus that blinded a child in one eye. The child and his parents sued, but the trial judge ruled in favor of Metropolitan Dade. The Third District Court affirmed.
