Sandy Hook families announce $73 million settlement with Remington Arms in landmark agreement Today at 11:18 a.m. EST|Updated today at 12:31 p.m. EST
When the families of nine of the victims of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School began their lawsuit against the gunmaker of Bushmaster AR-15 style rifle, they were driven by the goal of sparing other families the pain that had upended their lives.
On Tuesday, the victims’ families marked a victory in their effort with the announcement of a $73 million settlement with Remington Arms, which manufactures the Bushmaster. The settlement, which comes after a protracted court battle, marks the first instance in the United States of a gun manufacturer facing liability for a mass shooting.
“They had the motivation to do whatever they could … so that other families — whether they are in a suburb or township or city — would not have to go through the kind of pain and the loss that they had,” Joshua Koskoff, an attorney for the families, said during a Tuesday news conference. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02/15/remington-sandy-hook-settlement/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F360d5b2%2F620bdf8d9d2fda34e792a37e%2F59741f459bbc0f1cdcfbb98e%2F10%2F74%2F620bdf8d9d2fda34e792a37e
