Uvalde school shooting victims' families announce $2 million settlement with Texas city and new lawsuits

Family members of Uvalde school shooting victims announced on Wednesday a $2 million settlement with the Texas city over the deadly 2022 rampage. The group also said they're filing lawsuits against dozens of Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Uvalde's school district.The announcement comes nearly two years after a teenage gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.

'Pursuing further legal action against the City could have plunged Uvalde into bankruptcy, something that none of the families were interested in as they look for the community to heal,' the statement said.The settlement also includes enhanced training for Uvalde police officers, supporting mental health services for the families, survivors and community members, and creating a committee to coordinate with the families on a permanent memorial.
