After days of hearing testimony in an inquest to ascertain the facts about the fatal shooting of Charleena Lyles, jurors deliberated and found that the two officers who fatally shot the mother of four used reasonable force.
The jury ruled it did not appear as though a reasonably effective alternative to deadly force existed, and that the amount of force used was reasonable.
They also determined the officers did not comply with SPD policy on the use of force with a stun gun/electrical weapon. Seattle police officers Jason Anderson and Steven McNew shot her seven times. They said Lyles suddenly came at them with a knife. In the final day of testimony on Tuesday, McNew said there was no time to give Lyles detailed verbal warnings before he fired his gun.“I felt that, that ... it was clear that if I’ve got my gun pointed toward you, and I’m a police officer, and you’re coming toward me with a knife, and I say, ‘Get back,’ that’s sufficient warning,” said McNew.
