DENVER (AP) — Family members are asking for accountability in the death of a 22-year-old Colorado man who was shot by police earlier this year after calling 911 for roadside assistance. Christian Glass’ parents held a tearful news conference to demand justice, saying they believe officers escalated a situation that could have been handled differently. They also said they hope the district attorney will bring criminal charges. Christian Glass was shot and killed during the June incident in the tiny Rocky Mountains town of Silver Plume. His parents’ attorney released hours of police body camera footage of the incident on Tuesday. The district attorney’s office says it is investigating the shooting along with state authorities.
