Parkland Families Secure $150 Million Settlement with Shooter

Families of three slain students and a wounded survivor reach multimillion-dollar agreements with Nikolas Cruz, though significant payouts are unlikely.

• Parents of Luke Hoyer, Alaina Petty, and Meadow Pollack each receive $50 million settlements.
• Wounded survivor Maddy Wilford agrees to a $40 million settlement.
• Cruz is barred from profiting off his crimes and must transfer any future earnings to the victims' families.
• The shooter previously agreed to donate his body to science and cannot give interviews without victims' permission.
• A court hearing on the distribution of a $400,000 annuity is scheduled for next month.
