Body cam footage of an incident where Ligonier Valley police officers shot a man who confronted them with a machete was released.
The Trib reports that this was in connection with the death of 59-year-old Robbie Saunders on July 2nd. The footage shows him answering the door with the knife in his hand, and the two officers shooting simultaneously: one using a taser the other using a gun.
On July 21, Westmoreland County DA Nicole Ziccarelli ruled that the shooting was justified because of an “immediate and imminent threat was posed to responding police officers who were prepared to use their own resources to protect themselves and the lives of those around them.”
