wait. Defendant proceeded to ask Plaintiff how they could join the Ridgeway Department

and that other individual suffers injury as a result of a breach of that duty to care commits
negligence.

refrain from conduct creating an unreasonable and foreseeable risk of harm to others.
35. Defendant breached that duty of care by intentionally and recklessly discharging a
firearm repeatedly in Plaintiff’s direction, and continuing to fire when Plaintiff tried to
defend themselves, and otherwise failing to exercise even the minimum degree of care
required to avoid causing injury to another person.
