SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) — The San Jose City Council approved an $8 million settlement on Tuesday in the case of a football player shot by police.
In 2022, K’Aun Green wrestled a gun away from a man in a restaurant during a fight.
When police arrived, an officer shot Green four times.

That officer was also later found to be a part of a racist texting scandal.
Green’s lawyer posted a statement on Facebook that read, in part: “He had faith that the truth would come out. We had to fight to get the truth out”.
Green now plays football at a university in Arkansas.
