The mother of a British man shot dead by a teenager has placed the blame for her son's death on parents who 'normalise' gun violence in US schools.
Rory Swimm, who was born in Dundee, Scotland, was killed after an altercation with a stranger in Salt Lake City, Utah, just days after his 23rd birthday on October 13, 2023.
The student had been out celebrating when he started engaging in 'banter' with schoolboy Jordan Fisher, then 15, about drinking whisky, according to accounts from his friends at the scene.
After an argument broke out, the teenager is alleged to have driven away before coming back to throw bottles at Mr Swimm, driving off again and eventually returning to shoot him in the chest with the help of a laser.
Fisher, now 17, will be tried as an adult in a Utah court in June but will not face the death penalty if he is found guilty. He is pleading self-defence.
