Prosecutors will not file charges against the South Salt Lake officer who fired at two men inside a car used to run over and kill a fellow officer in November.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill wrote in a letter to Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera and South Salt Lake Police Chief Jack Carruth that his office wouldn’t be filing charges against the officer.
Gill said the shooting was legally justified because evidence indicates Officer Carson Aprato used deadly force because he believed it was necessary to prevent death or serious injury of himself or another, in this case Officer David Romrell.
