Jury Deems Two Salem Officers Justified In Use Of Deadly Force
(Salem, OR) -- Two Salem Police officers are being cleared in the shooting death of a burglary suspect last month. A grand jury in Marion County ruled yesterday that the two officers were justified in opening fire on 42-year-old Shawn Baker late last month. The officers say Baker did not follow orders to drop his gun and then raised it at him before they fired at him. Baker was wanted in connection to multiple burglaries in the Salem area between December and January.
