Louisville Metro police released an update on two officer-involved shootings Monday.
The first shooting happened on November 13 in the Wyandotte neighborhood when a man with an AR-styled pistol, later identified as Jason Bobbit, led officers on a foot chase. Despite being told to drop his weapon multiple times, police say Bobbit pointed the gun at officers instead. Officer O’Sha Rogers shot him in response.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office found that Rogers’ actions were justified.
The second shooting happened on December 8 in the South Louisville neighborhood. Criminal Investigation Department units made a traffic stop near South 4th Street and Central Avenue when a man in the car, Marvin Perry Smith, got out carrying a pistol with an extended magazine and ran south on 4th Street. Police said Smith ignored commands from officers to stop and was then shot by Sgt. Joshua Arnwine.
The attorney’s office also found that Arnwine’s actions were justified.
