In January 2024, a wrongful death civil rights lawsuit was filed against the Granite School District on behalf of the families of Paul Tahi and Tivani Lopati, two high school students who were fatally shot during school hours at Hunter High School in Salt Lake City on January 13, 2022. The lawsuit alleges that the school district failed to respond to multiple reports of escalating violence, which allegedly led to the deaths of the students. It also accuses the district of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, litigation costs, and attorneys’ fees.
