The statement from Freeman and Ellison said the state would be unable to disprove “beyond a reasonable doubt" elements of Minnesota’s use-of-deadly-force statute that would have authorized use of force by Mark Hanneman, the officer who shot Locke. They said at a news conference after the announcement that Locke's hand was seen holding a firearm, although his finger was not on the trigger, and that at one point it was pointed directly at Hanneman.
Freeman and Ellison met with Locke’s family Wednesday morning to share their condolences again before the announcement. The founder of the National Action Network, the Rev. Al Sharpton, called the decision “a slap in the face, not only to this mother, but to all of us.”
