Victims, survivors of Henry Pratt mass shooting in Aurora awarded $60 million
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Survivors and victims' families in a mass shooting in Aurora have been awarded $60 million.
The judgments were entered against the estate of the shooter, Gary Martin, and were split among two of the survivors, the estates of the five victims killed, and two bystanders who saw part of the shooting spree.
In 2019, Martin opened fire inside the Henry Pratt Company -- killing five of his coworkers, and injuring others, including five Aurora police officers, before he was shot and killed by police.
