TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A grand jury is clearing five police officers involved in the shooting of a gunman on the campus of Florida State University.
Myron May was shot and killed by police in the early morning hours of Nov. 20. Before the 31-year-old was killed, May shot at students and one library employee.
Three bullets struck 21-year-old student Farhan "Ronny" Ahmed, including a shot that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
A Leon County grand jury on Tuesday heard from witnesses and went over physical evidence collected at Strozier Library.
In a brief four-page report, jurors called the actions of police "heroic," and they praised the "prompt response" of a dispatcher. The report states there could have been more casualties if police had not acted so quickly.
