BART agrees to $6.75M settlement with woman shot by officer at Union City station

A $6.75 million settlement was announced between BART and a 33-year-old woman who was injured when a police officer shot her at the Union City station last November.

A joint written statement between BART and Jasmine Gao’s attorneys, John Burris and Ben Nisenbaum, stated they had reached a mediated pre-litigation settlement after Gao was left with significant injuries when BART Police Officer Nicholas Poblete discharged his weapon during a vehicle stop on Nov. 18.
