According to the DOJ, they do pay victims of "State-Sponsored Terrorism". So we have the beginning piece (the shooting) and the end piece (the restitution). Where is the middle piece (the charges, evidence, trial/tribunal, verdict, sentencing)? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-compensates-victims-state-sponsored-terrorism
Here's the source for the funds used to pay victims. It is comprised of crime-related forfeitures. Sound familiar? http://www.usvsst.com/

I wonder if the family of the victims who died after the massacre get paid.

They get their houses paid for, like Sandy Hook.

Long history of this practice. Going back to the late 1700s when the US Government chose to award a pension to a civilian light house keeper who was crippled during a attack on his light house by Indians. The only part of his body the Indians were able to hit was his feet as he took refuge on the second floor of the light house. Bows and arrows through the cracks in the floor boards. Source for this story is a old book written in the 1800s about the Pioneer Indian wars. Sorry no link and I don't recall the title.
