No Indictment for Mississippi Officer in Fatal Shooting of Black Man

A grand jury found that a white Tupelo police officer acted within the law when he shot an unarmed black man.
 
Tupelo police officer Tyler Cook was not indicted by a grand jury and will not be charged with a crime in the June 18 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Antwun "Ronnie" Shumpert, Lee County District Attorney John Weddle said Monday.
 
In a timeline previously provided to The Clarion-Ledger by the city of Tupelo, Cook said he shot Shumpert four times in "self-defense."
The grand jury stated they "found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of Officer Tyler Cook."
