"A company that made a rifle used in one of the deadliest school shootings in the US has settled with the families of victims.
The settlement from Remington Arms comes in response to a lawsuit brought by the families of nine of 26 victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
The case marks the first time a gunmaker has been held accountable for a mass shooting.
The families say Remington was negligent.
The details of the settlement have not yet been disclosed, although the families are expected to comment further at a news conference later Tuesday.
Last July, Remington - the oldest gun-maker in the US - offered $33 million to (£24m) to each of the families, falling far short of the $225m they'd sought in court.
During court hearings in February, attorneys for the family said that total punitive claims could possibly exceed $1bn.
In their lawsuit, the families of five adults and four children who died in the shooting argued that the company marketed its weapons to high-risk and potentially unstable individuals such as Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza."
