Relatives of seven people killed in a 2019 Virginia Beach mass shooting, represented by former Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, are seeking a $40 million settlement.
The families met separately with Gov. Glenn Youngkin , Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and legislators, telling them the city cut off their medical and mental health benefits just before the second anniversary of the May 31, 2019, shooting.
“They could find it in the couch cushions downstairs,” Fairfax said, speaking outside the Senate gallery after he and his clients were introduced.Among those who made the trip were Jason Nixon and the three daughters he has been raising alone since his wife, Kate, died in the rampage by co-worker DeWayne Craddock. Nixon said he is being pushed out of the Air Force because of post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by the death of his wife.
Sen. Bill DeSteph said he was surprised to hear the families’ accounts, saying he thought their needs were being met either by the city or by a charity established on their behalf.
