"The settlements approved today is just one small step on this terrible road that these families are on," Elliott Buckner, lawyer for Perry s family, told the press.
The mother of Baton Rouge athlete Mike Hollins, Brenda Hollins, was joined by the families of other victims of a shooting rampage at the University of Virginia (UVA) in November of 2022.
The University of Virginia will pay $9 million in a settlement related to a 2022 campus shooting that killed three football players and wounded two students, a lawyer representing some of the victims and their families said Friday.
The Associated Press reported that the settlement did not come from a lawsuit and was negotiated outside of court, though it had to be approved by a judge per Virginia law.
