RICHMOND, Virginia -- Families of those killed in the Virginia Tech massacre would receive US$100,00

0 (euro64,800) each under a settlement the state is proposing to prevent lawsuits, according to a victim's relative who received a copy of the proposal.

Medical and counseling expenses would be provided to the families of the 32 killed and dozens of surviving victims, said the person, who asked Monday to remain anonymous because those involved were told not to discuss the settlement.

Families would also have the opportunity to question the governor and university officials about the shootings, according to the family member.

Families were asked to say by March 31 whether they were comfortable with the proposal.

If they agree, they cannot sue the state government, including Virginia Tech.
