The family of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old man who was shot and killed by police after calling 911 to report his car had gotten stuck, will receive a $19m settlement – the largest payout for police misconduct in the history of Colorado.
Glass was shot and killed in Silver Plume, a tiny rural, rocky outpost just west of Denver, in the summer of last year. The payout announced late Monday was accompanied by an apology letter from the sheriff’s department whose officers are charged in his death.
