Sandy Hook Remington lawsuit: Families get massive settlement from gunmaker
Remington Arms will pay the families of nine victims from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting $73 million as part of a settlement over the gun used to kill 20 children and six teachers in 2012. The families had filed the lawsuit arguing Remington marketed the weapon to at-risk young men such as the Sandy Hook shooter. This marks the first time a gun manufacturer has been held liable for a mass shooting in the U.S.
