Last November, Baltimore police were summoned to the scene of a reported robbery and assault. One of the responding officers was Zachary Rutherford. Upon arriving, they found a man standing over a woman with a knife. The situation escalated and Rutherford wound up shooting at the man 14 times and striking him with 12 rounds. The suspect later died at the hospital. There was a bit of irony involved in the story because the suspect, Tyree Moorehead, had previously become something of a local celebrity by going around the city and spray painting “no-shoot zone” on buildings, in an apparent message to the city’s gangbangers. The shooting led to predictable public outrage and calls for “justice.” But this week, an investigation into the shooting was concluded and Zachary Rutherford will not be facing any charges as a result.
