The popular American gunmaker Remington Arms agreed on Tuesday to a $73 million settlement in a case involving the families of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Nearly eight years ago, nine families linked to Sandy Hook victims sued Remington for alleged negligence after one of the gunmaker’s firearms – the Bushmaster XM15-E2S semiautomatic rifle – was used to fatally shoot 20 first-graders and six school staff members.

In addition to negligence, the families also argued the gunmaker violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act through wrongful marketing or sale of the Bushmaster rifle.

In a statement emailed to American Military News, the families’ attorneys described securing “two key victories” in the case against the “now-bankrupt” gun company: they obtained and plan to make public “thousands of pages of internal company documents that prove Remington’s wrongdoing and carry important lessons for helping to prevent future mass shootings,” and Remington’s insurers “have all agreed to pay the full amount of coverage available, totaling $73 million.”
