Police Shootings Under Investigation in Georgia, South Dakota

South Dakota investigators are reviewing a fatal police shooting in Rapid City after officers responded Oct. 29 to a report of a man threatening people with a gun inside a home. Police said the 30-year-old man left the house with a rifle, ignored repeated commands to drop it, and pointed it at officers before they shot him; he died at the scene, and no officers were injured. Authorities said children were present and five officers responded, while the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation leads the review with assistance from the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation has not determined whether the use of force was justified, and Attorney General Marty Jackley expects a summary of the findings within 30 days.
