Settlement reached in shooting death at St. Louis business

The survivors of a man who was shot and killed by an employee of a St. Louis business reached a $2.5 million settlement in a wrongful death claim, according to their attorney.

James D. O’Leary Jr. of O’Leary, Shelton, Corrigan, Peterson, Dalton & Quillin in St. Louis said the plaintiffs alleged that the employee’s failure to follow the defendant’s company policy contributed to the man’s death. He said further details about the case couldn’t be released due to a confidentiality agreement.
