Dozens of Clear Creek County residents and friends of Christian Glass gathered at a vigil Tuesday night in Idaho Springs to demand accountability for the deputy who shot and killed him.
In a candlelit moment of silence to honor Christian Glass’s life, his mother thought of him as a child — how he dressed up as an artist for elementary school career day, how he obsessively tried to figure out how things work, how he was always so happy.
Glass called 911 for help after crashing his car while experiencing an episode of paranoia. Seven officers from five agencies tried for an hour to get Glass, who repeatedly said he was afraid, to step out of the car before they decided to break one of the car’s windows. The shattering window prompted Glass to pick up a knife and officers responded by Tasing him and shooting him with less-lethal bean bags.
Friends of Glass described him as a sweet young man who chose his words carefully and listened intently. He was courageous in his vulnerability and willingness to share his authentic feelings, said Zigy Kaluzny.
