Conn. lawyer withdraws $100M lawsuit over massacre

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A Connecticut attorney seeking to sue the state for $100 million on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor of the Newtown school massacre has withdrawn the claim at least for now.

The Stamford Advocate reports that Irving Pinsky withdrew the lawsuit but says he might refile. He says he received new evidence on security at Sandy Hook Elementary School and is reviewing it.

Pinsky last week asked to sue the state, saying his client suffered ``emotional and psychological trauma and injury'' during the shooting rampage that killed 20 children and six adults. He says state officials failed to prevent his client from foreseeable harm.
