Call of Duty police killing settled for $5 million

Police detective Justin Rapp killed 28-year-old Andrew Finch in 2017 on the front porch of his house in what’s now known as the United States’ first fatal swatting incident. Last week, the Wichita City Council finalized a $5 million settlement in a federal lawsuit against Rapp, according to The Wichita Eagle.

The lawsuit had been ongoing for five years before the city council voted 6-1 in favor of the settlement.
