US$800 million settlement for Las Vegas mass shooting victims

A US court yesterday approved a US$800 million (RM3.3 billion) settlement for victims of America’s worst mass shooting – a rampage that left 58 dead and more than 800 wounded in Las Vegas.

In the October 2017 massacre, a man named Stephen Paddock opened fire with high-powered rifles from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, unleashing more than 1,000 rounds as he mowed down people among a crowd attending an outdoor country music festival.
