A $11 million settlement was made with the state on Thursday. Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 students at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. According to the article Settlement reached in Virginia Tech shootings, lawyers say, "Earlier this year, a settlement proposal called for representatives of each of the 32 people killed by a student gunman last April 16 to receive $100,000. A pool of $800,000 was set aside for the injured in the plan, with individuals eligible to receive up to $100,000 each." The families victims are going to meet with the governor and university officials to talk about the shootings. The shootings were a horrible deal that should never happen. Too much crime is going on in the world today and I believe more action and protection needs to take place to prevent crime.
