"Expanding Charges: 6 More Officers Face Consequences in Christian Glass Shooting"

Six additional law enforcement officers have been charged with failing to intervene during the fatal shooting of Christian Glass, who called 911 while experiencing a mental health crisis in Clear Creek County, Colorado. The officers, along with a previously charged deputy, are accused of not taking action to prevent Glass's death. The incident, captured on body camera footage, showed that none of the officers intervened as Glass was shot by a deputy. The county sheriff's department claimed that the deputy fired shots because Glass refused to drop a knife. Glass's family reached a $19 million settlement, and the officers now face criminal charges.

Multiple Officers Charged in Christian Glass' Fatal Shooting

Six officers, including a former Georgetown Police Marshal and a Colorado State Patrol trooper, have been charged for failing to intervene when a Clear Creek County sheriff's deputy fatally shot Christian Glass during a mental health crisis in June 2022. The officers were present at the scene for over 70 minutes as Glass refused to exit his car. Body camera footage showed that no officer attempted to stop the breach of Glass' car before he was shot. The charges come after a grand jury found that the decision to remove Glass from the vehicle directly resulted in his death. The former deputy who shot Glass has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and criminally negligent homicide.

Colorado family awarded $19 million in police shooting settlement

The family of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old man shot and killed by law enforcement during a mental health crisis in Colorado, will receive a $19 million settlement, the largest payout after a police killing in state history. Clear Creek County will also dedicate a public park in Glass's name and establish a crisis response team. The Colorado State Patrol will create a virtual reality training scenario based on Glass's murder, focusing on "de-escalation in a high-stress situation." Two former Clear Creek Sheriff's Office employees charged in the case are still going through a separate criminal trial.

Colorado police to pay record settlement to Christian Glass family.

The family of Christian Glass, who was shot and killed by a Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputy last summer, will receive a $19 million settlement, the largest known law enforcement settlement in Colorado history. The settlement includes police reform and mental health training initiatives, a public park dedicated to Glass, and a virtual reality training program reflecting Glass’s death. The law enforcement agencies involved have also issued rare apologies for initially misleading the public about what happened. Two officers have been indicted and fired, and their trials could be held later this year.
