Gunmaker subpoenas report cards of five kids shot dead in Sandy Hook massacre

Remington has subpoenaed for the academic, attendance and disciplinary records for five kids who were shot dead in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre after their families filed a lawsuit against the bankrupt gunmaker.

The subpoena was revealed in a court filing made by lawyers for the families of the five children seeking modifications to an order of protection in order to prevent the release of the records.

Remington also subpoenaed for the employment files of four educators who were killed during the horrific massacre, who are included in the lawsuit.

The nine families who lost family members when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Remington on December 15, 2014.

The case, which claims Remington recklessly marketed its Bushmaster Model XM15-E2S .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle, will go to trial this month.

The court filing, obtained by DailyMail.com, reads that 'there is no conceivable way' that the records requested by the gunmaker 'will assist Remington in its defense.'

Remington had requested records including the application and admission paperwork, attendance records, transcripts, report cards, and disciplinary records among other records for the students.

'The plaintiffs do not understand why Remington would invade the families' privacy with such a request. Nonetheless, this personal and private information has been produced to Remington,' the filing reads.

'The plaintiffs therefore move the Court to expand the categories of protected information to include private educational, employment and medical records and information.'

The filing notes that only one category in the current protective order protects information disclosed by the parents.

Meanwhile, 'the current protective order lists eight categories of protectable information. Seven of those eight categories are designed to
