A security guard at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic who was the first person shot during a rampage in March filed notice Wednesday that he plans to sue the estate of the shooter.

Jeremy Byers filed the writ citing "negligence" against the estate of John F. Shick, who police say entered the UPMC facility in Oakland on March 8 and shot six people, killing one.

Mr. Shick, 30, was shot and killed by a University of Pittsburgh police officer.
