Grand Jury Declines To Indict Police Officers In Deadly Walmart Shooting

An Ohio grand jury has decided not to indict two police officers who fatally shot a man at a Walmart. Officials say the officers did what they were trained to do.

On the night of his death, Crawford was seen walking around inside Walmart with what appeared to be a long gun. A 911 call was placed from the store and Beavercreek police officers Sean Williams and Sergeant David Darkow responded to the scene. When they encountered Crawford he refused to put down the weapon and was shot twice by the police. The gun would later be revealed to be a toy pellet gun.
