Gun Maker Agrees to Settlement with Sandy Hook Families

“The families of some of the adults and children killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School reached a settlement Tuesday with Remington, the manufacturer of the AR-15 rifle used in the massacre,” CNBC reports.

New York Times: “Remington, which made the weapon, had proposed settling with the families for $33 million as a trial date loomed. Court documents filed on Tuesday morning did not specify the amount of the settlement, but a lawyer for the families said in a statement that the settlement was for $73 million.”

For the first time ever, a gun maker in the U.S. has been held liable for a mass shooting.
