STILLWATER, Minn. – Prosecutors will not be charging two Stillwater police officers in the March shooting death of an armed man.
Washington County Attorney Kevin Magnuson said the use of deadly force by Sergeant Dan Young and Officer Justin Dowley was justified in the shooting of 21-year-old O’Kwan Sims.
Investigators said Sims fired several rounds in an apartment building and his gunfire hit two squad cars. Sims was pointing a pistol with an extended magazine at police when Sergeant Young and Officer Dowley shot him three times.
“These officers really had no other option,” Magnuson said.
