Wednesday morning, the Lincoln Police Department and Lancaster County Sheriff s Office held a joint press briefing to give the update. After consulting with the County Attorney, the Lancaster County Sheriff s office says a preliminary investigation shows law officers from the Nebraska State Patrol and Lincoln Police were legally justified in using deadly force against two people from Wyoming wanted in a northwest Lincoln robbery.
Investigators say 26 year old Christian Alexander, of Evansville, Wyoming, died Tuesday afternoon, and an autopsy is scheduled as the investigation continues. 30 year old Hailey Stainbrook, of Casper, Wyoming, died Saturday following the shooting.
