This also includes the families of mass shooters he said, noting "many times, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
The petition states Crusius' parents and grandparents, with whom he was living at the time of the shooting, were negligent "in fostering an environment which encouraged hate crimes" and "in allowing weapons in the home where Crusius resides, despite knowing of his dangerous propensities."
Chris Ayres, the Dallas-based attorney representing the Crusius family, said he did not have a comment at this time on Tuesday's lawsuit.
In an Aug. 6 statement to the Wall Street Journal, John and Lori Crusius said their son's actions "were apparently influenced and informed by people we do not know, and from ideas and beliefs we do not accept or condone."

Family thought shooting victim would have 'lived to be 100'
86-year-old Angelina Englisbee, who was known as "Angie" to family and friends, drove herself to Walmart Aug. 3 to buy food and school supplies for her grandchildren, her family said.
"We thought she would have lived to be 100," said her daughter, Edith Hallberg. "I wanted her picture on the news, (that said) 'shout out to Angie Englisbee, she's 100 today,' and that's not going to happen. It's just too sad."
Englisbee had seven children, 25 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Her son, William Englisbee, described his mother — who everyone affectionately called "Mom" — as the family's rock.
His hope is that families of the other victims will join their lawsuit, he said.
"Hate is not something that we're born with," William Englisbee said. "It festered and brewed inside this guy somehow, someway. He came to El Paso with a lot of malice, a lot of evil, the intent to hurt, and my mom was in the way and murdered.
"I just want it to stop."
