correction
A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Remington accepted liability in a settlement with the Sandy Hook families. A court filing noting the settlement does not mention liability. The article has been corrected to reflect the change.
When the families of nine of the victims of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School began their lawsuit against the gunmaker of the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle, their goal was to spare other families the pain that had upended their own lives.
On Tuesday, the victims’ families marked a victory in that effort with the announcement of a $73 million settlement with the now-bankrupt Remington Arms, which manufactures the Bushmaster.
