Three officers who opened fire on a man with a knife in Lincoln City in April were justified in their use of deadly force, the district attorney announced Friday.
The officers—Robert Bomar, Molly Wehrley and Hayden Tolzman—will not be charged with any crimes in the killing of David Xanatos, of Payette, Idaho, said Lincoln County District Attorney Jonathan Cable.
“Every loss of life is tragic,” Cable said in a statement. “But in this instance, David Xanatos left the officers no choice.”
