The families of three students killed in a 2012 shooting at a Ohio high school will receive settlements of about $US890,000 ($A963,000) each from a lawsuit filed against the shooter's family.
A probate judge has approved the settlement of a lawsuit.
Judge Timothy Grendell told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the amount is fair and reasonable.
Then-17-year-old TJ Lane killed the three students and wounded three others inside the Chardon High School cafeteria on February 27, 2012.
Lane pleaded guilty to aggravated murder charges last year and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms.
Lawyers who filed the lawsuit will receive 40 per cent of the settlement amounts.
