Fieger said he plans to amend the Colorado lawsuit later to include other defendants, such as school officials and police who allegedly failed to act on warnings that Klebold and Harris posed a threat, and gun manufacturers and others who may have provided the weapons.


   Fieger among other lawyers have filed a joint class-action suit against Northwest Airlines, stemming from a January 1999 snowstorm. More than 4,000 passengers were stuck on Northwest planes on the runways at Metro Airport for up to 11 hours.

   Fieger filed a lawsuit against two couples who he claims failed to prevent sexual assaults against a girl in the Grosse Pointe Woods statutory rape case.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Teina Tallarigo of Grosse Pointe Farms, mother of a freshman girl who said she was sexually assaulted by two older schoolmates from Grosse Pointe North High School.   Defendants in the lawsuit include the two alleged attackers, Daniel Granger and Daniel Raymond; the parents of Granger, and another couple who owned a home where the girl was allegedly attacked.

The lawsuit claims Raymond and Granger sexually assaulted Tallarigo's daughter without provocation at the two homes in January 1998.   The suit says Granger's parents and the other couple breached their duty to supervise the activities of minors in their homes.

Fieger said he sued the parents in this, and the Columbine case "to promote a national debate on the issues of parental responsibility and other possible causes of this unprecedented epidemic of youth violence."
