Federal lawsuit in Antwon Rose shooting settled for $2 million

A federal civil rights lawsuit brought by the family of slain teenager Antwon Rose II against the borough of East Pittsburgh and the former police officer who shot him, Michael Rosfeld, has been settled for $2 million.

U.S. District Judge Marilyn Horan on Tuesday signed a stipulation of dismissal of the suit as to East Pittsburgh signed by all parties.

The judge issued both orders with prejudice, meaning the claims can't be filed again, and the suit has been terminated.
