EAST LANSING, Mich. — Attorneys announced on Tuesday that Michigan State University has reached settlements totaling around $30 million with three students who survived a mass shooting in 2023.
Three students were killed and five more were wounded when a man with no connection to the school fired shots inside two buildings.
The settlements include a $14.2 million agreement with Nathan Statly, $13 million with Yukai “John” Hao, and $2.5 million with Troy Forbush, as disclosed by lawyers at Grewal Law and Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman.
“While the university refrained from commenting on the specifics of the settlements, they expressed their hope that reaching an agreement will offer some relief, support, and care to the affected individuals and their families,” stated Michigan State.
Statly was shot in the head, Hao was paralyzed after being shot in the back, and Forbush was shot in the chest.
Three students were killed: Brian Fraser, Arielle Anderson and Alexandria Verner. Their families reached settlements with Michigan State in late 2023.
The gunman, Anthony McRae, 43, killed himself after being confronted by police that night, nearly 4 miles from the East Lansing campus.
