Newtown Parents Offer To Settle With Town

The parents of two children killed in the Sandy Hook shooting massacre are offering to settle their wrongful death lawsuit against Newtown, and its school system for $5.5 million apiece.

 

The parents of Jesse Lewis and Noah Pozner filed the settlement offers Monday in Danbury Superior Court. A lawyer for the town and the school board declined to comment Tuesday.

 

The lawsuit alleges security measures at the school weren't adequate when Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 first-graders and six educators in 2012. The other victims' parents aren't part of the lawsuit. In another lawsuit, the families of nine victims and a teacher who survived are suing Remington Arms, the parent company of Bushmaster Firearms, which made the semi-automatic rifle used in the shootings.
