Family members shot by a relative during a drunken rampage that also took the life of his father have been awarded $1.6 million dollars by a Vermont jury. Darcy Petit was convicted of murdering his father and shooting a cousin and an uncle, then holding other family members and friends hostage for hours in 2003. He is serving 20 years-to-life at Newport State Correctional Facility.
Because Petit is incarcerated, it's not known how much, if any of the award will ever be paid to the plaintiffs.
