One of the lawsuits filed this week against Camp Mystic now has five additional families on it.

Attorneys confirmed to KSAT on Friday that the McCown, Pohl, Sheedy, Stevens and Toranzo families were added to the Getten family lawsuit. The Gettens’ daughter, 8-year-old Ellen Getten, was among the 25 campers and two counselors killed during the catastrophic July 4 floods while at Camp Mystic.

The Getten petition is among several filed by families who allege the camp provided no evacuation training, ignored flood warnings and failed to evacuate campers. There are at least 19 families named in the four total lawsuits.

“And had proper preparation been done, had proper planning been put in place, this entire event could have been avoided,” the Gettens’ lawyer, Kyle Findley, said.
