A woman taken hostage by her ex-boyfriend and shot by police when they tried to rescue her accepted a monetary settlement with the city.

“This is a three-party agreement along with the city of San Bernardino and Ms. Bauer,” Redlands city spokesman Carl Baker said in an email Monday. “The city of Redlands will pay $200,000 as its part of the settlement.”

Kristin Bauer signed the agreement Feb. 19. As part of the deal, she agrees not to sue the cities of Redlands and San Bernardino in this matter.

Bauer, 29, of Corona was shot in the right shoulder by police on March 24, 2016, during a three-hour standoff on High Avenue, east of Sixth Street, in which her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Mike, was killed.

Police originally claimed Bauer had been shot by Mike, prompting them to take action and open fire, but officials later recanted that claim and took responsibility for wounding Bauer in the incident.

Redlands police Chief Mark Garcia said at a press conference in the days following the incident that Mike had threatened Bauer’s life multiple times and police unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with Mike.

Thinking Bauer was in danger, officers fired their weapons, striking Mike and killing him, Garcia said.

Eleven officers fired a total of 25 rounds, Garcia said. Of the officers who fired their weapons, nine were Redlands police officers and two were San Bernardino police officers.

“At the same time Kristin was wounded,” Garcia said.

The bullet was from a responding officer, not Mike’s gun, which had jammed, Garcia said.

Mike abducted Bauer from a nearby Office Depot, where she worked as a manager, and fled to High Avenue, just east of the office supply store.

Attorney Dale Galipo filed claims with the cities of Redlands and San Bernardino in July on behalf of Bauer.

The claims were seeking more than $1 million in damages.

Precursors to a lawsuit, the claims allege police were negligent and failed to get Bauer immediate medical attention after the shooting, contributing to her injuries.

The parties settled for a payment of $300,000.

Bauer was unavailable for comment at the time of this report.
