CHATSWORTH, Calif.—A judge is being asked to approve settlements of nearly $1 million each on behalf of the two minor daughters of a Los Angeles County Fire Department engineer shot to death by a colleague at the Agua Dulce station in 2021.

The Chatsworth Superior Court lawsuit was brought in January 2022 by Heidi Carlon, who was married to the late 44-year-old Tory Carlon; her adult daughter, Joslyn Carlon; and Heidi Carlon’s two other daughters, who are currently ages 9 and 17.
