"Farmington Officers Cleared in Fatal Shooting at Wrong Address"

Authorities in New Mexico will not seek charges against three police officers involved in a fatal shooting of Robert Dotson, who was struck by 12 bullets after officers responded to a domestic violence report at the wrong house. The officers fired dozens of shots, killing Dotson, who appeared at his door holding a gun. The state's justice department determined that the officers "did not use excessive force" and their approach to the wrong house was "reasonable." The Dotson family has filed a lawsuit against the department, alleging wrongful death and seeking unspecified damages. The ACLU of New Mexico has called for "systemic change" in police use of force policies in the state.
