No Charges For Boston Officer In Fatal Shooting

BOSTON (AP) — Prosecutors have determined that a Boston police officer who shot and killed a man while responding to a domestic violence call will not face criminal charges.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said Friday that Officer David Hansford opened fire on Remis Andrews on April 5, 2014 after Andrews lunged at him with two large knives and a carving fork.

Conley said Hansford was "confronted with an armed and aggressive individual in extremely close quarters and responded to an immediate threat of death or great bodily injury to himself, his fellow officers and five other people."

Conley's report was released after he met with Andrews' family.

The report said Andrews did not comply with requests to place his hands behind his back to be handcuffed and requests to drop the knives.
