INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The owner of the stage that collapsed at Indiana’s State Fair last year and killed seven people rejected a settlement plan Wednesday that would have protected the state from further legal action.

Mid-America Sound officials said not enough of the victims had agreed to the deal. Of the 62 claimants, which include people who were injured and the estates of those who died, only 51 agreed to the settlement by the Aug. 1 deadline.
