Colorado family awarded $19 million settlement after police shooting during mental health crisis.

The parents of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old man killed by a sheriff's deputy during a mental health crisis, will receive a $19 million settlement from Colorado and local governments. The settlement also includes changes to how officers are trained, such as establishing a crisis response team and training deputies in crisis intervention. The state of Colorado will create a virtual reality training scenario for the Colorado State Patrol based on the shooting that will focus on de-escalation in stressful situations involving officers from different agencies. The settlement is the largest for a police killing in Colorado and ranks among the biggest in the United States.
