22-year-old killed by Colorado deputy acted in self-defense, committed no crime, grand jury finds

Indictment detailing allegations against Deputy Andrew Buen and Sgt. Kyle Gould unsealed Monday

The 22-year-old Boulder man killed by a Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputy in June had committed no crime and acted in self-defense before the deputy shot him while he sat in his car, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed Monday.

The Fifth Judicial District’s grand jury on Wednesday indicted two of the deputies involved in Christian Glass‘ death, though specific details of the allegations against the men initially had been kept secret.

At that point, no one on the scene had made a determination that there was probable cause or reasonable suspicion that a crime had been committed or was being committed,” the indictment states.

The grand jury found that Buen spoke to Glass in a verbally aggressive manner. The jury also wrote that Williams and Idaho Springs police Officer Brittany Morrow tried to coax Glass out with their words and in an understanding way.
