Former Deputy Pleads Guilty in Fatal Shooting Case, Six Other Officers Charged

The charges stem from the fatal shooting of Christian Glass, who had called 911 for roadside assistance, leading to a $19 million settlement and changes in police training.

  • Former Colorado sheriff’s deputy, Kyle Gould, pleaded guilty to failure to intervene in the fatal shooting of Christian Glass, who had called 911 for roadside assistance.
  • Six other law enforcement officers who responded to the 911 call were also charged with failure to intervene.
  • Christian Glass was fatally shot after his vehicle became stuck on a mountain road and he called 911 for help.
  • The shooting led to a $19 million settlement for the family of Mr. Glass and prompted the Colorado State Patrol to change how its officers train to handle high-stress situations.
  • Andrew Buen, who allegedly shot and killed Mr. Glass, was charged last year with second-degree murder, official misconduct and reckless endangerment.
