No indictments returned against 2 officers involved in probe of Ohio traffic stop shooting

By The Associated Press

CINCINNATI – A prosecutor says a grand jury decided no charges are warranted against two University of Cincinnati police officers who responded to the traffic stop in which another officer fatally shot a driver.

Friday’s announcement comes a day after former Officer Ray Tensing pleaded not guilty to murder and voluntary manslaughter in the July 19 shooting of Samuel DuBose. Tensing’s attorney has said Tensing thought he was going to be dragged under DuBose’s car.

The Hamilton County prosecutor says the two officers arrived as Tensing reached into the car. He says their official statements about what happened matched what was shown on Tensing’s body camera, and neither of the two officers said in official interviews that they saw Tensing dragged.

Messages were left Friday at phone numbers for the officers, who are on administrative leave.
