Paper: Family Suit in Police Shooting Settled for $2 Million

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A newspaper reports that a federal civil rights lawsuit brought by the family of a black teenager killed by a white Pennsylvania police officer has been settled for $2 million. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that a federal judge approved dismissal of the suit against the city of East Pittsburgh, and county court records include the settlement amount. Family attorneys declined comment. Authorities said 17-year-old Antwon Rose was shot after bolting from a car during a June 2018 traffic stop.
