The families of nine victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre reached a settlement with gun manufacturer Remington for $73 million. It’s the first time a gunmaker has been held responsible for a mass shooting in the U.S. The Sandy Hook massacre claimed the lives of 20 schoolchildren and six educators. This is Veronique De La Rosa, whose 6-year-old son Noah was killed in the shooting.

Veronique De La Rosa: “Today marks an inflection point, when our duty of care to our children as a society finally supersedes the bottom line of an industry that made such an atrocity at Sandy Hook possible to begin with. Today is a day of accountability for an industry that has thus far enjoyed operating with immunity and impunity.”
