PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Portland police officer has been fired and three others suspended in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a standoff.
The Portland Police Bureau announced the disciplinary actions on Tuesday, nearly 10 months after police shot 25-year-old Aaron Campbell in the back as he ran away from them.
Officer Ron Frashour, who fired the lethal shot, was terminated. He has said he thought Campbell was reaching for a weapon. Campbell was unarmed.
Another officer and two sergeants were suspended for two weeks without pay for unsatisfactory performance.
A Multnomah County grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing but said police training, command and communication were inadequate.
