Vancouver police respond to the scene of a shooting in the Fruit Valley area Sept. 7. The shooting of an Iraq War veteran by three Vancouver officers was justified, Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Denny Hunter said Wednesday.
Prosecutors have cleared three Vancouver police officers who shot and killed an Iraq war veteran after he was acting threatening and roaming the Fruit Valley neighborhood Sept. 7 with a gun.
Nikkolas Lookabill, 22, was shot 13 times by officers after he refused to drop his handgun near the 3000 block of Fruit Valley Road, just north of West Fourth Plain Boulevard.
