Settlement Reached in 2018 Columbia Waffle House Shooting

The family of a man who was fatally shot by a security guard during a New Year’s Day 2018 melee at a Columbia Waffle House has agreed to a settlement.

KMIZ-TV reports that attorneys for members of Anthony Warren’s family filed the proposed deal with the restaurant and guard in court on Wednesday.

The terms are confidential, but the motion notes that structured settlements are in place for Warren’s three children. A judge is set to review the settlement at a July 12 hearing.
