The San Diego County Superior Court has ruled in favor of Smith & Wesson, Inc., granting summary judgment under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). The decision absolves the firearm manufacturer of liability in the 2019 shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue.
In that shooting, a 60-year-old woman, Lori Gilbert-Kaye, was killed when she attempted to shield the rabbi from the attacker. The rabbi, Yisroel Goldstein, 57 at the time, and two others synagogue-goers, Almog Peretz, 34, and his niece, Noya Dahan, 8, suffered nonfatal gunshot wounds.
