No charges were filed against two police snipers in Minnesota who shot and killed a man in a standoff in July. The court decided the officers were justified in shooting the man.
Two police snipers who fatally shot a man in Minnesota will not get charged.
Cindy Sundberg, Tekle’s mother, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune Wednesday that"we are heartbroken that the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office chose to provide our family with this devastating news right before Christmas, as we were already grieving Tekle’s absence."Police went to the scene the night of July 13 after a 911 call from a neighbor of Sundberg’s who said he was firing a gun into her apartment, endangering her and her 2- and 4-year-old sons.
Police body-camera video released less than a week after the shooting showed a chaotic scene in which Minneapolis officers rescued a mother and her two young children as Sundberg repeatedly fired a gun from inside his nearby apartment during what was a mental health crisis.
