"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 incident, captured on body camera footage, showed that none of the officers intervened as Glass was shot by a deputy.
