NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — In the weeks before last November’s second anniversary of the mass shooting at the Battlefield Boulevard Walmart, judges in Norfolk approved a series of wrongful death settlements that saw the company commit to paying out millions to three victims’ families, according to court documents obtained this week by 10 On Your Side.
The last one was finalized last November, just three days before a Chesapeake Circuit Court judge signed off on an order dismissing the final remaining negligence suit against the company in that jurisdiction — all were dismissed before going to trial.
Six people were killed in the Nov. 22, 2022 shooting and several others were injured.
