Family of slain student sues Tacoma district

They say the school district should have done more to prevent last year's shooting of 17-year-old junior Samnang Kok. They argue that the district should have known that Douglas Chanthabouly, who was charged in Kok’s killing, “suffered from severe extreme mental illness,” which posed a direct threat to students and staff.
