6-year-old Jeff Weise shot and killed 7 people at Red Lake High School before taking his own life. In addition to reaching a $1 million settlement with the school district, the twenty-one plaintiffs, representing survivors and the families of victims, also filed suit against MacNeil Environmental of Burnsville, the firm hired to evaluate and improve security measures on campus prior to the shootings.

Rich Ruohonen represented Steven Cobenais, the most severely injured student, in the suit, which was recently settled for $1.5 million.
