The parents of a 16-month-old boy killed by a door at a Scottsdale fire station, are seeking a $9 million settlement with the city. Daniel and Courtney Reiss are speaking out for the first time since the incident, as part of a "statement of claim" against the city of Scottsdale - a precursor to a lawsuit. In the video marked by their attorneys as evidence, the Reiss family claims the city was negligent for not implementing a number of safety measures. “To know that they’re alive and thriving, and when those doors open, and I didn’t hear anything come out, no crying—nothing came out of him," said Courtney Reiss in the video. The family claims the folding doors closed automatically, without warning, on their son, less than four minutes after a fire engine left the station.
