A confidential settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by the family of an unarmed Kentucky man shot by police.
The 2012 shooting occurred after 46 year-old Gregory Harrison called police several times to say he wanted to kill his brother, had a gun and needed help. A federal judge last year allowed the lawsuit to move forward after determining that the shooting was unreasonable because Harrison was committing only minor offenses; he did not advance on the officers or threaten them; and that he was obviously mentally ill and intoxicated.
The lawsuit was brought to a close on August 18. It had been filed by Harrison’s estate against the city of Bowling Green and several police officers involved.
