A judge on Tuesday approved an $11 million state settlement with families of most of the victims in last year's Virginia Tech slayings that will avoid a court battle over whether anyone but the gunman was to blame. Families of 24 of the 32 individuals killed will be compensated; 18 people injured in the attack are also covered. An attorney for many of the families called the settlement the "most reasonable outcome we could expect" in light of Virginia's $100,000 liability limit in such cases.
