No Charges in Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Single Mother in Washington, D.C.

More gun violence of the state-sanctioned kind.
No one will face charges in the killing of Miriam Carey, who was
fatally shot by an officer from the Capitol Hill police and one
from the Secret Service who between them shot at her car 18 times,
hitting her five. Afterward they found her child in the car. Cops
say they didn’t see the girl. Carey was allegedly driving toward a
Capitol Hill police officer and had previously tried to breach a
checkpoint at the White House, which is how the pursuit started.

Daily Voice:

There is insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil
rights or local charges against officers involved in the fatal
shooting of Miriam Carey of Stamford last fall just blocks from the
U.S. Capitol, the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of
Columbia announced Thursday.

The U.S. attorney’s office and the Metropolitan Police
Department conducted the investigation into the shooting of death
Carey on Oct. 3, 2013, involving the U.S. Secret Service and U.S.
Capitol Police. 

The review included interviews of more than 60 witnesses and
review of all crime scene evidence, ballistics reports, video
footage, photographs, the autopsy report, and more. 

The U.S. attorney’s office then concluded the evidence was
insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers
used excessive force or possessed the requisite criminal intent at
the time of the events.

And nothing else happened.
