Parkland shooting: Families involved in 2018 attack settle FBI lawsuit

The families of those killed in a Florida school shooting have reached a multi-million dollar settlement with the US government after the FBI failed to act on a tip about the gunman.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs said the agreement, once finalised, would mark “an important step” towards justice.

At least 17 people died after a former student opened fire at the campus in Parkland on 14 February 2018.

It was one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.
