SCHENECTADY The officers who shot and killed a Schenectady man last March will not face criminal charges.
The justification for shooting Michael Wallace “could not be disproven beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to the findings of a special investigation released by the state Attorney General’s Office on Thursday.
Two officers opened fire on Wallace, 34, after he pointed a pellet gun at him while they were responding to a call at Joseph Allen Apartments in the city’s Hamilton Hill neighborhood on March 24, 2020.
