North Carolina Deputies' Shooting Death Was Justified

Andrew Brown, Jr.

(CNN) -- District Attorney Andrew Womble said Tuesday that the deputies who fatally shot Andrew Brown Jr. last month were justified in using deadly force, saying Brown "recklessly" drove at the officers on scene while trying to flee arrest.

 

 

"When you employ a car in a way that puts officers' lives in danger, that is a threat," Womble said. "And I don't care what direction you're going, forward, backwards, sideways. I don't care if you're stationary, and neither do our courts."
