From Times Wire Reports

The family of a Red Sox fan killed outside Fenway Park after a police officer accidentally fired a pepper-spray pellet into her eye has filed a $10-million suit against the gun maker.

The lawsuit by the family of Emerson College student Victoria Snelgrove, 21, charges that FN Herstal USA falsely claimed its pellets didn’t break the skin.

Snelgrove was killed Oct. 21 in a crowd that gathered outside Fenway Park to celebrate Boston’s pennant-clinching win over the New York Yankees.
