Mississippi attorney general calls police shooting that killed toddler justified
Original: Mississippi AG says police shooting that killed 1-year-old was ‘justified’
Mississippi's attorney general has ruled that a police shooting that resulted in the death of a 1-year-old child was legally justified. The decision closes the question of criminal charges against the officers involved. The case has drawn attention because of the child's age and ongoing debate over police use of force and accountability in shootings that harm bystanders.
Why now: The ruling that officers face no charges in a baby's death is likely to fuel public debate over police accountability.
