Damages of $1.5 million have been awarded to the families of Sandy Hook victims.

Twenty children and six educators were killed when Adam Lanza went on a deadly rampage at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012.

US media reported that eight separate lawsuits, involving 16 plaintiffs, were filed seeking compensation from the estate of Nancy Lanza, who was fatally shot by her son Adam moments before the massacre.

Lanza went on to commit suicide.

“There was a settlement for the amount of 1.5 million” dollars, Ana Rios, assistant to lawyer Joshua Koskoff who is representing nine of the families involved, told AFP.

The lawsuits accused Lanza of negligence for leaving a rifle unguarded in her home, within the reach of her son who had a history of mental illness, media reported.

      Only her kid mattered. Mental illness and she thought a gun would focus him…she was correct, but not in the way she planned.
