A St. Charles East graduate and two seniors still attending the school have filed suit against the Kane County Cougars and others, accusing them of being negligent in not trying to protect them from a severe storm that struck the stadium Aug. 4, 2012.

Each one seeks more than $50,000 and a jury trial. Each one also names as defendants the Kane County Forest Preserve District and Professional Sports Catering.

Sisters Mary Gaffney, who was a student at Northern Illinois University, and Abigail Gaffney and Erin Gautille were all hurt when they were struck and injured by picnic tables, tent poles and other debris when the storm hit.
