The family of a Colorado man who was fatally shot last year by a deputy — killed after calling 911 for help when his SUV got stuck in a pile of rocks — say they will receive a $19 million settlement, the largest of its kind in state history.
— killed after calling 911 for help when his SUV got stuck in a pile of rocks — said Tuesday they will receive a $19 million settlement, the largest of its kind in state history.
"The size of the settlement reflects the immense wrong and injustice committed by the officers that killed Christian, whose death has broken his family and left an immeasurable void," the Denver-based Rathod/Mohamedbhai law firm, which represents Glass' family, said in a statement. Glass had indicated in his nearly 25-minute call to 911 that he was afraid. When the dispatcher asked about weapons, Glass says he had two knives, a hammer and a rubber mallet that he would throw out of the car's window when officers arrive.
Glass’ parents, who are from New Zealand and the United Kingdom, said their son trusted police to help him.
