19-year-old Jasmine Lynn was killed outside a Clark Atlanta dorm
(AP) -- The parents of a Spelman College student killed by a stray bullet as she walked on the Clark Atlanta University campus are suing the university for their daughter's death.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Fulton County State Court, Constance Franklin and Clint Lynn of Kansas City, Mo., say Clark Atlanta did not take "necessary actions to properly secure its campus."
The lawsuit claims that lack of security directly led to the Sept. 3 shooting death of 19-year-old Jasmine Lynn.
The lawsuit asks for an unspecified amount of money.
A Clark Atlanta spokesman did not immediately return a call for comment.
Lynn was killed outside a Clark Atlanta dorm when a fight broke out nearby and shots were fired. One person has been charged in the shooting.
