NEW: Christian Glass’s family spoke publicly for the first time Tuesday after the release of the body camera footage showing a Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputy killing their son.
Christian Glass’s parents struggled to believe their 22-year-old son would attack police officers.But that’s what the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office told them, and so Simon and Sally Glass assumed it was true, even though the thought cast a pall over their grief and Christian’s funeral, they said.
“He trusted the police to come and help him,” Simon Glass said. “Instead, they attacked and killed him.” Fifth Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum said in a statement Tuesday that her office continues to investigate the shooting. She will decide whether the officers involved should face criminal charges, or she can convene a grand jury to make that decision.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and the FBI Denver Division are aware of the shooting in Silver Plume,” Deborah Takahara, spokeswoman for the Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office, said in an email Tuesday. “If the information reveals potential violations of federal criminal statutes, the Justice Department will take the appropriate action.
