Prosecutors: Darrien Hunt Shooting By Police Was Justified
BRADY McCOMBS AP 11/03/14 06:13 PM ET
PROVO, Utah (AP) — Utah prosecutors announced Monday that officers were justified in fatally shooting a young man who was wielding a sword as part of a Japanese anime costume.
Two Saratoga Springs officers feared for their lives and the safety of others in the bustling shopping center where the encounter occurred when they fired seven shots at 22-year-old Darrien Hunt on Sept. 10, Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman said Monday in a news conference.
The shooting has prompting accusations from Hunt's family that he was treated differently because of his race and that his actions didn't warrant deadly force. Hunt was black and the two officers are white.
The Hunt family plans to file a civil rights and wrongful death lawsuit, said attorney Bob Sykes, who told reporters Monday that a jury would disagree the finding that the shooting was justified.
The fatal encounter was triggered by somebody calling in a report of a suspicious person walking with a sword in Saratoga Springs, a middle-class city south of Salt Lake City.
Police Cpl. Matthew Schauerhamer and Officer Nicholas Judson spotted Hunt and began having a normal conversation with him, Buhman said. Hunt said he wanted a ride to a nearby city but when they asked him to give up his sword, he refused and his demeanor changed. That's when he swung the 3-foot metal sword at them, Buhman said.
"This happened so quickly, violently and without provocation the officers had to use what was most immediately available to them, which was their firearms," Buhman said. He said the investigation uncovered no trace that race or ethnicity played a role in the incident.
The findings of the investigation were based on interviews with the officers involved and three witnesses, he said. Buhman said after Hunt was initially hit by gunfire, he fled and disobeyed orders to drop the sword.
"It would have been a matter of seconds before he could have reached someone else," he said.
Sykes disputed that account, saying it was unlikely that Hunt was aggressive.
"I think it's a whitewash. I think it's an exaggeration. I think they ignored good hard evidence to the contrary," he said.
The Hunt family hopes a lawsuit would bring changes in police training, he said.
"So many young men and young women are being shot down and killed by police officers improperly using deadly force," he said.
He said the sword Hunt used was decorative, but Buhman argued could have hurt someone.
At the news conference in Provo, officials showed the narrow, metal, 3-foot long sword.
"The tip is sharp and the blade, maybe it's not sharpened to Ginsu or chef standards, but it's sharp enough to cut," Buhman said. "It is not dulled."
Investigators don't know why Hunt had the sword or swung it at officers, Buhman said.
A search warrant released last week showed that Hunt had been fired from his job after he didn't come to work, and his mother had told him he needed to get a job or leave the house by the end of the week. His brother told investigators Hunt had been making and using a hallucinogenic drug and was "obsessed" with a girl on Facebook who wasn't interested in him, according to the warrant filed in state court.
The morning of his death, a friend said he posted a message on Facebook saying, "I have a sword and I'm going to get shot," investigators wrote.
An autopsy shows Hunt didn't have drugs in his system when he died of multiple gunshot wounds, including several to the back of his body.
Saratoga Springs Police Chief Andrew Burton said in a statement he's pleased with the findings, while recognizing that the ruling may not bring closure to the Hunt family.
"It is our hope that the community can now move forward in the healing process," Burton said.

Prosecutors Won’t File Charges Against Cops Who Shot Black Man Six Times In The Back
Prosecutors announced Monday that theywould not file charges against the police officers who shot and killed 22-year-old Darrien Hunt, as he carried a sword his mother said was a toy. The officers will also have their jobs reinstated in a few days, after retraining.
Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman said the shooting of Hunt was “justified” because Hunt was swinging the sword at officers and did not respond to their commands.
He said Hunt did indeed run away after an initial confrontation with the officers, but that the police were justified in continuing to shoot even then, because his sword could have posed a threat to someone else, or the officers.
Buhman also relied upon testimony from a witness who he said described Hunt as swinging the sword. That witness, however, told local news outlet KUTV that he never saw Hunt swing the sword, and Saratoga Springs officials mischaracterized his statement.

Ferguson protester: No one can find the bullet police say they didn’t fire into my head
A Florissant, Missouri woman says that police in Ferguson shot her in the head while she was leaving a rally supporting slain teen Michael Brown.
However, according to the Riverfront Times, the bullet that doctors removed from Mya Aaten-White’s head in August has vanished and police claim she was gunned down by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting.
On the night of August 12, Aaten-White says she was leaving an event in Ferguson in support of Michael Brown and remembers a group of people walking in front of her, then everyone diving for the ground as shots rang out.
When she sat up, she knew something was wrong.
“Oh my God, you’re shot in the head,” she remembers someone saying. A group of young men carried her to a house where they called 911.
“Those young men carried me and saved my life,” she said of the group who rescued her.
Now, Ferguson police are trying to blame those men for shooting her, calling the incident a drive-by shooting in which Aaten-White — a great-granddaughter of jazz legend Mae Wheeler — was caught in the crossfire. Witnesses, however, claim that the volley of bullets came from Ferguson police.
Aaten-White was conscious in the ambulance, taking a selfie that went viral. Then in the hospital, doctors debated about whether it was safe to remove the bullet from her skull, which had stopped a bare millimeter from her brain.
When Aaten-White woke up from surgery, she repeatedly asked medical personnel when the police were going to come and interview her about the incident. No one came.
When she asked who has custody of the key piece of evidence in her case, the bullet, no one could tell her what happened to the slug they pulled from her forehead.
“Someone has the bullet. Someone has the bullet, and it was an officer,” said her attorney Marwan Porter to the Times. Porter specializes in cases of police misconduct. He said, “We want to find out who and what agency took possession of the bullet. We want to identify who was responsible for firing the weapon that ended up with a bullet being lodged in the front of Mya’s head.”
“I’ve talked to both the St. Louis County Police Department and Ferguson…they have no record…no file number, no report,” he said. “They don’t have anything.”
A month after the incident, police finally released a report.
However, when the blog submitted a sunshine request about any ballistics reports or evidence related to the case, the police department replied, “This is an active investigation by law enforcement. No investigative records, such as ballistic records, are subject to disclosure in accordance with Section 610.100 R.S.Mo. The investigative records will be closed records until such time as dictated by Section 610.100 et seq.”
Aaten-White says she still has not spoken to the police about the incident, nearly three months later. A detective came to her house once to take a statement, but when she would not speak to him without an attorney present, the detective left and since then, she said, police have been ducking her attorney’s calls.
“I’ve left numerous messages for them,” Porter confirmed.
Part of her reluctance to deal with the department without legal the benefit of legal counsel, said Aaten-Smith, is that the incident report about the shooting is inaccurate.
“It’s an inaccurate report that we believe, my attorneys believe was produced as a result of the media pressure,” she said, but would not say specifically which sections weren’t true.
