Kroger Shooting Victim’s Family Sues Grocer, Says It Didn’t Do Enough to Prevent Bloodshed

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.
