Police say Jamie Feith pulled out a knife while officers tried to de-escalate the situation. They say they asked her to drop the knife, and when a taser did not work, police say they shot her.
Feith died at the scene.
The Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigation reviewed body camera footage and evidence.
Investigators concluded that a prosecutor would not be able to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt at trial that the officer who shot Feith was justified.
