Has the family of a victim of a mass murderer shooter ever

[raccoon]

Successfully sued the killer or his/her estate?

1. I doubt these mass killers would have any significant assets, of course an exception to that would

be trump, who killed hundreds of thousands of people

2. More often than not the shooter hasn't any money

so it wouldn't be worth the effort. That's why most lawsuits arising from mass shootings are against the properties, venues, employers, etc. where the shooting took place, claiming something like inadequate security (although there often isn't insurance coverage), or (unsuccessfully) against gun manufacturers.

3. Yes.

Newtown victims' families would split $1.5 million in settlement.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- The families of more than a dozen victims of the Newtown school shooting rampage would split $1.5 million under proposed settlements of lawsuits against the estate of the gunman's mother.


The lawsuits filed this year accuse Nancy Lanza of failing to properly secure her legally owned Bushmaster AR-15 rifle. Her troubled son, 20-year-old Adam, used the rifle to kill 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012, after he shot his mother to death at their Newtown home with another gun.
