## Resource

On Christmas Eve, a fatal police shooting of 43-year-old Romaine Morgan ended with no criminal charges against officers, as prosecutors deemed their use of deadly force justified. The confrontation began when officers pulled Morgan over for erratic driving and suspected impairment. After finding marijuana and a loaded AR-style rifle during a search, Morgan resisted arrest, grabbed the rifle, and pointed it at officers. All three officers retreated as he advanced, and one fired ten shots — fatally wounding Morgan. Both police and DA’s offices concluded the officers acted in self-defense, closing the case with no further action.
