St. Pete: Victim sues shooter's mother and mall for lack of security

ST. PETERSBURG -- James Dolan, the St. Petersburg man who was shot and blinded by a gunman in 2004 while he worked at Radio Shack, has sued the mother of the shooter for failing to help police find her son after a road rage incident earlier in the day.

Dolan and his wife, Christine, also named Radio Shack and Gateway Mall as defendants for failing to provide adequate security at the mall, at 7885 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N in St. Petersburg.

The 30-year-old father of three, whose home was redone by Extreme Makover months after the shooting, is blind in both eyes and suffers panic attacks. A few months ago, he sued an insurance provider for failing to provide worker's compensation benefits.
