Prosecutors Clear Officers in Two Police Shootings
Police shootings in Hartford, Connecticut, and Shelby Township, Michigan, were both ruled justified following formal investigations. In Hartford, Officer Devanand Budhoo fired at Luis Ortiz after Ortiz shot at another individual and ignored commands to drop his weapon; no one was injured by Budhoo’s gunfire, and the Inspector General found the response reasonable. In Shelby Township, Michigan, police fatally shot Thomas Antonio Jackson after he fled a traffic stop, ignored commands, was unsuccessfully tased, and drew a stolen handgun; Jackson died after being struck by five bullets. Authorities in each case emphasized that officers acted to protect themselves and others when confronted with armed suspects. Both incidents underscore the dangers officers face in volatile encounters with non-compliant individuals. No criminal charges will be filed against the officers involved.
