Remington Arms, the maker of the AR-15 rifle that was used in the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, has subpoenaed the report cards, attendance records, and disciplinary records of five children killed in the shooting, according to court documents.

On Thursday, attorneys representing nine families of victims of the massacre filed a motion that sought to protect against further subpoenas.

That filing revealed that Remington’s lawyers subpoenaed the Newtown Public School District seeking “application and admission paperwork, attendance records, transcripts, report cards, disciplinary records, correspondence” and other school records of the children.



“There is no conceivable way that these [records] will assist Remington in its defense, and the plaintiffs do not understand why Remington would invade the families’ privacy with such a request,” lawyers for the families said in a court filing.

Remington also subpoenaed employment records of four teachers who were killed in the shooting, according to court filings.

It’s the latest development in the seven-year effort by nine families of Sandy Hook victims to hold Remington accountable for the massacre, arguing that the gunmaker recklessly advertised its semi-automatic weapons to civilians.
