MINNEAPOLIS – The Latest on an internal investigation by Minneapolis police into the November 2015 fatal shooting of a black man by two white officers on the city's north side (all times local):
4:00 p.m.
Police in Minneapolis say two officers involved in the fatal shooting of a black man last November won't face discipline.
Chief Janee Harteau (HAR'-toh) announced the result of an internal investigation Friday at a news conference.
The investigation stemmed from the death of 24-year-old Jamar Clark during a confrontation with two white police officers. Some witnesses told police that Clark was handcuffed at the time.
But an investigation by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found that the officers had tried and failed to handcuff Clark, and he was shot in the ensuing confrontation after one of the officers shouted that Clark had his hand on the officer's gun.
Harteau said the officers didn't violate any policy and the use of deadly force was warranted.
The local county attorney and the U.S. attorney both declined to bring charges against the officers.
