NBC News’ Ken Dilanian details the agreement that will end a years-long battle for the survivors and families of the 26 people killed in the shooting.

So much for paying our taxpayer dollars but still no action in Congress.
Stop feeding the pockets Of the NRA and actually get some reform done to keep these dangerous people with weapons out of the streets.
Sue the Record labels that produce thug rap and Drill music… every time someone gets shot by a Gang
So much for a clo$ure!
Does the NRA cover that cost, or the taxpayer?
cali taxpayers have to pay for the damage caused by texas' gunnaholic mentality and loose laws – and paid to religion that pays ZERO revenue or property taxes – that's a perfect example of a horribly corrupt federal government ..
Greg A. Is one disgusting human being. He has no soul.
It's sad the government would rather pay huge settlements instead of repealing the 2nd amendment. Smdh, USA is such a cowardice place to live.
Special thanks to Maskoffaid for the payment was successful I just received it now

No news on the insurgency in Tennessee the other day
FYI Ron DeSantis just passed a free for all gun law just like Abbott in Texas did. Making carry guns a free for all! No need for gun permits anymore can open carry murder weapons!
Republicans refuse to pass gun control .
This administration just throws tax dollars at everything!!
So much for The Separation of Church and State!
Don't agree that federal government is responsible for this mass shooter actions or that tax payers money should be used for victims.
Seems an odd way to look at it.
Does this mean if mass shooter works for McDonald's and has history of violence then is does a mass shooting that McDonald's is responsible for shooting victims family members?
2023 Stabbings USA 1,964 UK 53 CAN 177 MEX 4,700 AUS 119 NZ 18.
NZ 18 x 66 to match USA population = 1,188 or 776 less stabbings than the US.
Is the US experiencing an increase in knife-related crime mixed with the increase in gun crime?
2023 17 US school shootings so far this year. More than 1 each week.
1996 1 UK school shooting and none since. 1923 1 New Zealand school shooting and none since.
Should Americans be banned from international travel to restrict the spread of stupidity and gun violence?
46 Ukrainians are killed each day in Putin's senseless war. 44 Americans are killed each day by other Americans in no war.
Government bears some responsibility so here's 144 MILLION dollars of tax payers hard earned money. Here's an idea, how about whatever Government officials are admiting the guilt pay out of their own pocket instead.
Interesting,….another police active shooter training exercise that went live in Sutherland Springs, TX. in the lobbyist-controlled media hitting paydirt.
………….how convenient.
people die why do i have to pay with my taxes
I’m glad the taxpayers are gonna have to pay the rest of their lives for shootings like this because they all could have prevented but instead what do they do grab their guns tighter then their flag poles ,and those flags represent the kids that they failed and all who have laid on the ground .
👍🏾
That's alot of money. They can do good things with it. Like making sure no republicans get elected all across the country. They are the ones who refuse to do anything about our kids being murdered by these military weapons.
There's a good way to use that money in your children's names. Let their deaths not be in vain.💔❤
