And the family of an African-American college student fatally shot by police in Pleasantville, New York, in 2010 has reached a $6 million settlement with the village and the officer. DJ Henry was shot while driving away from a party. Authorities said a police officer approached Henry’s car. A friend who was with him believed the officer was telling them to move the car. As Henry pulled away, authorities said, the officer told him to stop and stepped in front of the car. Authorities found Henry’s car was braking when it struck the officer, Aaron Hess, who wound up on the hood and fired through the windshield, killing Henry. A number of witnesses said Hess jumped onto the hood. A grand jury declined to indict him.
