    Police have not charged or publicly identified the safety volunteer who shot at Gamboa and fatally struck Ah Loo. But authorities have said they’re investigating whether that man was justified in firing his handgun.

    Attorneys for Laura Ah Loo called out the safety volunteer by name Wednesday and said they will pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against him in coming weeks. They also said charges should be filed against the volunteer and called for more transparency from authorities.

    The Associated Press is not naming the volunteer because he has not been publicly identified by authorities.

    I’m guessing the shooter is a cop or ex-LEO or something like that. Hopefully the civil case can get some justice, because this justice system definitely protects its own unfortunately.

      What more is there to investigate? What more information could they possibly be seeking out before making a decision one way or another.

      They’re just sitting on this until enough time has passed for them to drop it officially.
