On Wednesday’s Creighton’s parents filed a lawsuit against the lounge.

The lawsuit accuses the club of negligence and details how Creighton was an innocent bystander at the club that night, saying that the club allowed an armed person onto the premises.

“The Defendants allowed an armed individual(s) to enter and remain inside the crowded Premises for an extended period of time where alcohol was served,” stated the lawsuit.

It went on to say how the club was “poorly maintained” and “unsafe”, and a “haven for dangerous conduct.”

The lawsuit claims that had the club taken reasonable measures, Creighton would still be alive.
