On June 10, 2025, it was announced that three victims of the 2023 mass shooting at Michigan State University (MSU) have settled with the university for a total of $29.75 million.

The victims include Nathan Statly, who will receive $14.2 million after being shot in the head; Yukai 'John' Hao, who was paralyzed from the chest down and will receive $13 million along with waivers for tuition and housing; and Troy Forbush, who was shot in the chest and will receive $2.5 million.

The tragic shooting occurred inside two buildings on campus, resulting in five students being wounded in addition to the fatalities.

The shooter, Anthony McRae, took his own life after being confronted by police, and although he left a note expressing feelings of being slighted, no clear motive for the attack was established.

Lawyers for the victims highlighted the settlements as a crucial step towards healing, emphasizing the long-term impact of their injuries and the importance of the funds for future care and rehabilitation.

MSU expressed condolences to the victims and their families, hoping the settlements would provide relief and support, although they refrained from commenting on specific cases.

The university acknowledged the tragedy's impact on the community and has previously compensated the families of three students killed in the incident with $5 million each.

As of the announcement date, MSU had not released an official statement regarding the settlements.

Hao's attorney noted his determination to continue his education and pursue a career as a sports agent, highlighting the significance of the settlement for his future.

In addition to the settlements, survivor Justin Bowman has filed a separate $50 million federal lawsuit against MSU, claiming the university failed to implement adequate safety measures.

The settlement negotiations took 26 months to finalize, with attorneys emphasizing that MSU ultimately did the right thing in addressing the needs of the survivors.

In June 2023, the victims had notified MSU of their intent to sue for the lack of safety measures in Berkey Hall, where the shooting took place.
