The day Jason Funke was shot, police were summoned to a church where Funke had sought counseling just days earlier about his mental health, including feelings of suicide, according to court records.
A man who dropped a gun and ran naked from police before being shot by an officer outside a church in 2017 has accepted a $525,000 settlement to end a federal lawsuit against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and police officers, both sides said Monday.
The day Funke was shot, police were summoned to a church where Funk had sought counseling just days earlier about his mental health, including feelings of suicide, according to court records. At least six police officers arrived, with a police helicopter overhead, before Funke stood, picked up the gun and began pacing.Hatten, armed with a rifle in a position near other officers, announced: "He’s starting to move. ... I’m gonna take a shot."
A K-9 officer struggled to control a police dog, which was barking and pulling at its leash when officers ordered Funke to lay on the ground. Officer Aden OcampoGomez, a department spokesman, declined to tell the newspaper if Hatten was disciplined for shooting Funke and declined to comment on the settlement.
