Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison told a Monday news conference that a woman at the center of an officer-involved shooting on Sunday will not face any charges in connection with the incident.
A supervisor was not called when the driver requested one, officers should not have pursued the driver over a traffic violation, and it is against department rules to discharge a firearm at a moving vehicle unless extreme circumstances such as one's life is in jeopardy.
