Relatives of Antioch High School shooting victim Josselin Corea Escalante advocate for gun reform at the Tennessee General Assembly Jan. 27.

The Metro Nashville Public Schools Board of Education has approved a $300,000 settlement for the family of the student killed in a shooting at Antioch High School in January.

The family of Josselin Corea Escalante, the 16-year-old killed in the Jan. 22 shooting, filed the lawsuit in July, alleging MNPS and Metro Nashville failed to protect students from harm and should have taken steps to create a safer than otherwise environment for students.
