The final agreement comes nearly a year after it was first announced and a month shy of the three-year mark since a teenage gunman stormed into two adjoining classrooms, in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two teachers while hundreds of law enforcement resources inexplicably waited outside. Uvalde will pay the families a total of $2 million from its insurance coverage as part of the settlement. Victims’ families previously told CNN they wouldn’t seek a higher payout from the city to prevent the place they call home from going bankrupt. They are also seeking damages from other institutions, including the Texas state police, involved in the failed response.

The Uvalde City Council Tuesday evening, unanimously approved a settlement with families of Robb Elementary School mass shooting victims. Josh Koskoff, one of the lawyers representing families of the victims, confirmed the settlement but did not detail the terms. He told ABC News that in addition to a monetary settlement, the families of the two teachers and 19 students killed in the shooting wanted the city to maintain the cemetery where many of the mass shooting victims are buried. The settlement also commits the city to support the Uvalde Police Department's Guardian initiative that includes enhanced emergency training and evaluation for officers.

The city of Uvalde, Texas, and families of the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting victims reached a settlement after city council members on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve the deal, NBC News reported. In the massacre, 19 fourth graders and two teachers were killed by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, a former student at the school. "Nothing can ever make up the losses and harms these families endured on May 24, 2022, but today's agreement marks an important step forward in advancing community healing, ensuring our city forever honors the lives we tragically lost, and supporting all surviving victims in the 2022 Robb Elementary shooting," Uvalde Mayor Hector Luevano said at the City Council meeting.
