Texas family sues over gun sale

A Texas family has filed a 25 (m) million-dollar lawsuit against Wal-Mart, alleging that the retail giant should not have sold a shotgun to their suicidal daughter.
Twenty-four-year-old Shayla Stewart killed herself last year.
Her parents argue that Wal-Mart should have known she was a risk because she had assaulted a customer at another Wal-Mart store — and Wal-Mart pharmacists were filling Stewart\’s prescription for anti-psychotic medicine.
Wal-Mart isn\’t commenting on the case, but some mental health advocates say mental health records — including prescriptions — should stay private.
In Texas, it\’s against the law to access such records without explicit permission.
Federal law prohibits stores from selling guns to people who have a history of serious mental illness. But Stewart\’s name didn\’t show up when Wal-Mart did a background check.
