The gun-maker being sued by families of victims of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School is seeking records for some students killed in the massacre.

After Remington, which made the Bushmaster assault-style AR-15 rifle that was used in the shooting, filed subpoenas to obtain report cards, attendance records, and other academic documents for five students who were killed at the school on Dec. 14, 2012, lawyers for the nine families that sued Remington moved on Thursday to seal those records.
