The Montgomery County District Attorney says the police shooting of a fugitive in Norristown last month was a 'lawful use of force' after an investigation into the incident.
The Montgomery County District Attorney says "lawful use of force" was used in a shooting where officers discharged their weapons in Norristown in May.
District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said an independent investigation of the shooting was conducted in collaboration with the Norristown Police Department. According to officials, the incident was the result of an exchange between officers and Mark Simpkins Jr. on May 21. Authorities say an arrest warrant for Simpkins, 29, was issued by the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole in October.
Officers tried to approach him after he as spotted walking into a store on Main Street in Norristown, but he fled and ran between homes, police say.
