MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Police officers involved in three fatal shooting incidents in Memphis won't face criminal charges, the top prosecutor in Tennessee’s most populous county said. Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said the shootings of fleeing felons last year were justified.
Democrat Steve Mulroy declared victory over incumbent Republican Amy Weirich late Thursday evening in the race for Shelby County District Attorney, but Weirich had not conceded defeat.
The district attorney says her office is aiming to charge both 15-year-old boys as adults for the murder of Memphis pastor and youth advocate Autura Eason-Williams.
