Family members of Maurice Stallard, the man killed in last year’s shooting at the Jeffersontown Kroger, have filed a lawsuit against Kroger Co. and Gregory Bush, the accused shooter.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Charlotte Stallard, Maurice Stallard’s widow and the executrix of his estate, and Kellie Watson, the mother of Maurice’s grandson who was with him in the store at the time of the shooting.

The lawsuit, filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, alleges Kroger allowed customers to enter the store with guns and had no policy in place to make sure Bush was licensed to carry his firearm. No effort was made by Kroger to stop the shooting, the lawsuit claims, despite a separate shooting that had occurred at the same store in 2007, and more than 20 other shootings at Kroger stores across the nation.

Lawsuits represent only one side of a case.

“While we do not comment on pending litigation, we extend our deepest sympathies to the families affected by this senseless violence,” Louisville Kroger spokeswoman Erin Grant said.

Stallard’s family is seeking compensation for the harm suffered following the shooting, legal fees and punitive damages.

Stallard was one of two people killed in the October 2018 shooting, along with Vickie Lee Jones, who was shot and killed in the parking lot. Bush was arrested in the moments after the shooting and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, two counts of wanton endangerment and one count of attempted murder.

He has also pleaded not guilty to three federal hate crime charges and three federal gun charges. A bystander in the Kroger parking lot at the time of the shooting said Bush, a 51-year-old white man, told him “I won’t shoot you. Whites don’t shoot whites,” before he fled. Both victims were black, and Bush has been accused of targeting African Americans during the incident.

Bush in July was found competent to stand trial by a Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center report. A judge will decide whether to accept those findings at a court appearance in October.
