Capt. Arnoldo V. Sandoval sued the county in January of last year, alleging assault, battery and negligence stemming from the June 1, 2021, shooting.
The lawsuit also named the estate of the gunman, Jonathan Patrick Tatone, who opened fire at Station 81, killing 44-year-old Firefighter Engineer Tory Carlon and wounding Sandoval. According to the suit, Tatone was off-duty when he arrived at the station and got into an argument before shooting Sandoval and Carlon.
The county Board of Supervisors will consider the proposed $2.575 million settlement with Sandoval during its regular Tuesday meeting. In a letter to the board, County Counsel Dawyn R. Harrison wrote that the case is “an employment-related lawsuit filed by a fire department employee who was shot and seriously injured in the Fire Station 81 incident.”
“This proposed settlement is recommended due to the risks and uncertainties of litigation, and resolution at this time would avoid further litigation costs,” Harrison wrote.
