The city agreed Tuesday to pay more than $7 million to settle a wrongful death civil suit lodged by the fianceé and pals of Sean Bell, an unarmed man gunned down by cops on his wedding day, sources said.
The cops fired on Bell's lurching car after mistakenly believing someone inside had a gun and that Bell was trying to run them down.
The NYPD still has not decided whether to discipline a total of five officers involved in the shooting.
