No Charges For Officers In March Police Shootings

Bernalillo County's district attorney says a New Mexico State Police officer and Albuquerque police officer won't face charges in connection with the shooting death of a 22-year-old man during a standoff.

District Attorney Kari Brandenburg said Friday that there was no probable cause to bring charges against either of the officers.

Authorities say New Mexico State Police SWAT officer Shane Todd shot and killed Kendall Carroll during a four-hour standoff in March at an Albuquerque apartment complex.

Albuquerque officer Michael Hernandez also exchanged gunfire with Carroll but did not hit him.

Investigators believe that Carroll previously had deliberately shot an Albuquerque officer in the lower back after the officer responded to an assault call.
