Woman shot in Fordyce mass shooting files lawsuit against man accused of the shooting

A woman injured in the mass shooting at the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce on June 21 has filed a lawsuit against the suspect in the shooting.

Brittney Sullivent filed the lawsuit last week in federal court against Travis Eugene Posey. Posey has been charged with four counts of capital murder and 11 counts of attempted capital murder. He has plead not guilty to all charges.

The Arkansas State Police said that Posey shot 15 people during the incident, using a 12-guage shotgun, a pistol, and a bandolier with dozens of extra shotgun rounds, according to the Arkansas State Police. He used nearly all of the shotgun rounds while firing “indiscriminately” at customers and employees inside of the store and on the parking lot.

Four people were killed and 11 others were injured during the shooting.

Sullivent, who was shot during the shooting, is seeking monetary damages to cover medical care, lost earnings, and other expenses due to the shooting, according to the lawsuit. Her husband, Jeromy, filed alongside of her on the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, Sullivent was wounded in head and arm when Posey fired at her vehicle in the grocery store’s parking lot. Her injuries include hearing loss and permanent disfigurement and she faces ongoing medical procedures.
