Colorado Springs Officers Justified in Deadly Shooting After Man Fires at Them During Pursuit

The 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has ruled as justified the deadly shooting of Benjamin Greenfield by Colorado Springs police officers. The incident occurred on April 4, when officers attempted to apprehend Greenfield, a suspected drug dealer, at a McDonald's.
