The father of a teen found shot to death with former state senator Bob Regola's handgun has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the ex-lawmaker, his wife and their son.
The lawsuit was filed in Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court against Robert Regola III, who did not run for re-election.
The suit stems from the death of 14-year-old Louis Farrell, Regola's next-door neighbor.
Farrell was found shot to death in woods behind their homes on July 22, 2006.
A coroner has ruled the death a suicide, though Farrell's family disputes that.
The senator was acquitted of weapons and perjury charges.
His son Bobby was found delinquent in juvenile court on a weapons charge.
