Colorado Springs Grand Jury Says Police Were Justified in Fatal Shooting Of De’Von Bailey

A grand jury found that two Colorado police officers were justified in killing a black teenager who was shot multiple times in the back during a foot chase.

No criminal charges will be filed against the officers involved in the Aug. 3 death of De'Von Bailey in Colorado Springs. One officer ordered the men being detained to keep their hands up so that another officer could search them for weapons.

Bailey ran as he was about to be searched and was shot after he put his hands near his waistband.
