State of Virginia to pay $11 million settlement in Virginia Tech massacre.

Richmond, VA: (Jun-17-08) A Virginia Circuit Court has approved an $11 million settlement for families of most of the victims in last year's Virginia Tech massacre. Families of 24 victims are set to receive $100,000 each, the maximum allowed by Virginia's liability limit, while 18 people injured during the rampage will receive up to the $100,000 maximum, based on injuries sustained. A $1.9 million hardship fund is part of the settlement, from which families of those killed can seek additional money. Additionally, the settlement included attorney's fees and a fund for charities. The settlement is said to avoid a court battle over whether anyone but the gunman was to blame.
