(AP) – A military jury has sentenced a U.S. soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians last year to life in prison without a chance of parole. The decision came in the case against Staff Sgt.

That prompted the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence to file a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law. The two sides now say they’ve reached a settlement agreement. The town will have to add a provision to the ordinance saying that it is not enforceable and will never be enforced.
