Home invasion victim sues over broken gate at gated community: Tennessean.com
Here is what can happen when security gates are broken… unfortunate for everybody.
A resident in a gated community in Nashville who was shot in his home has sued his homeowners association and property management company.
The Four Maples condominium complex in the Donelson area has a gate that requires residents to swipe a pass or remotely unlock it for visitors. But Marquette Weaver said in a lawsuit filed in Davidson County Circuit Court that the gate meant to keep non-residents out was not working in June and had been broken for a month before people broke into his home at 2 a.m. and shot him several times.
