'For those killed in the shooting, the settlements range from $6 million to $7.5 million per claimant. For the survivors, the settlements are for $5 million per claimant,' according to a statement from the Justice Department.

Lawyers and several family members of the victims shooting gathered outside the Justice Department following a private meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland on their settlement deal.

"I still relive and think about what happened being there. I'll remember it until the day I die," Jennifer Pinckney told ABC Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas at the news conference."If I had the opportunity to bring Clementa back, I’d switch. You can all take the settlement, bring my husband back to me, bring their father back to them because we had a nice life. Most people you know they always say I want a good I want a good man in my life. I want a good household.

The total amount of the settlement will be $88 million, with $25 million going to the survivors of the shooting and $63 million going to the families of the nine victims, attorney Bakari Sellers said.
