Clear Creek County sheriff's deputies indicted, fired over shooting death of Christian Glass

The 22-year-old Boulder man was killed after calling 911 for help near Silver Plume last June

Two Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputies involved in the shooting death of a 22-year-old Boulder man who called for help after crashing his car were indicted by a grand jury Wednesday and fired, authorities said.

The Clear Creek Sheriff’s Office announced the indictment and firing of Andrew Buen and Kyle Gould on Wednesday night, saying, in a news release, that it was “part of a painful but necessary process.”

Court records show Buen, who shot and killed Christian Glass, was indicted on charges of second-degree murder, official misconduct and reckless endangerment. The grand jury indicted Gould on charges of criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment.

Fifth Judicial District Chief Judge Paul Dunkelman sealed the indictment and issued arrest warrants Wednesday for Buen and Gould, according to a news release from the 5th Judicial district attorney’s office. Bail is set at $50,000 for Buen and $2,500 for Gould.

I don't know if you've seen the video but the cop that shot him is giving an Academy award worthy performance of "Oh no, what have we done?" He actually says that.

How do we get rid of bad cops and reward good cops is the real problem.
