FILE - A Rhode Island state trooper places an evidence marker near a vehicle with holes in the windshield, May 24, 2023, in Cranston, R.I. JOHNSTON, R.I. — Eleven police officers involved in the fatal shooting of a Rhode Island man last year have been cleared of any wrongdoing, the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office said in a report released Thursday.
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said the officers’ actions were “reasonable and legally justified.” The report cited that Harrison pointed a gun at police, a finding corroborated by police bodycam videos and cell phone video from an eyewitness. The report also noted officers didn’t fire until they saw Harrison brandish the gun and that a silver semiautomatic handgun was found near Harrison’s body.
Harrison then drove the wrong way on Plainfield Pike in Cranston during a pursuit, swerved at several police vehicles and struck one, Winquist said. Harrison then jumped the median and struck a rock, disabling his vehicle. He was shot as he exited his vehicle.MINEOLA, N.Y. — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
