Officials to discuss use of police force in Fargo shooting that killed gunman who fired on officers

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s attorney general is planning to hold a news conference to discuss a Fargo police officer’s use of deadly force against a gunman who opened fire on other officers, killing one and injuring two. A statement from Attorney General Drew Wrigley’s office said Wednesday’s news conference “will address the officer use of force issue only.” Authorities say Officer Zach Robinson fatally shot 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat after the man fired on officers responding to a traffic crash Friday. Officer Jake Wallin was killed. Officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes were hospitalized with critical injuries. A woman was also shot, but authorities have not said who shot her.
