Tributes to the 26 people who were shot dead at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, ConnecticutThe company that made a gun used in the murder of 20 children at the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre has offered to pay $33 million in compensation to some of the victims’ families. Remington’s offer would mean that nine of the families who are suing the company receive $3.66 million each, a fraction of the amount they have claimed. Court filings show the lawyers estimated that the company’s total costs could exceed $1 billion. SponsoredA total of 26 people were shot dead at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, when Adam Lanza, 20, walked in eight years ago and began firing at children and staff. Earlier that day he had killed his mother and later shot himself.
