Gander Mountain is facing a lawsuit two years after a gunman killed 13 people at the American Civic Association immigration center in Binghamton, NY. The lawsuit seeks a total of $3.75 million dollars in damages. Gander Mountain has denied the charges.

Wong, with 30-bullet magazines and two handguns, shot most victims multiple times then killed himself.

The Press and Sun-Bulletin of Binghamton reports that Samir Muhammad Al-Salihi filed a suit in state court seeking payment from Gander Mountain for pain and suffering experienced by his wife, Layla Salman Khalil, who died in the April 2009 attack. He alleges that Gander Mountain ignored signs of Wong's mental instability when he was a customer.

Gander has said the firearms in question were purchased legally.


The case, filed on April 1, has been moved from state to federal court at the request of Gander Mountain.
