Abstract: The family of a gay middle school student who was shot to death in class has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit that accuses the school district, a shelter and a gay rights organization of failing to protect him. The teenager, Lawrence King, 15, of Oxnard, was killed last February. Brandon McInerney, a classmate at E. O. Green Junior High School, was charged as an adult and has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and a hate crime. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
