A Pennsylvania police officer will not face charges for accidentally shooting a suspect in the stomach inside a police station last month.
Weintraub added, "The conduct was neither justified nor criminal, but excused because the officer honestly believed that he was using his Taser when he shot Mr. Riling in the stomach."
Riling is described as a "fit" 6-foot-4, 240-pound construction worker in the district attorney's release. Riling initially isn't clear what happened, shouting at the officer, "Was that a gun? You shot me with a gun?" Bucks County, Pa., District Attorney Matthew Weintraub declined to press charges against a New Hope police officer who accidentally shot a suspect inside a police station in March 2019.
