Denver police Officer Brandon Ramos indicted in LoDo shooting that injured 6

TL;DR

A Denver police officer will face assault charges for allegedly shooting five bystanders when he fired at a suspect in a crowded bar district in Lower Downtown last summer, a grand jury ruled Wednesday.The grand jury indicted Officer Brandon Ramos on 14 counts, including two counts of second-degree assault, six counts of third-degree assault, one count of prohibited use of a weapon and five counts of reckless endangerment.“To charge this officer with a felony crime, jeopardizing his career, his liberty for acting as he was trained, in the public interest, with no malice, ill intent or lack of concern, is unfortunate and sad,” Denver Police Protective Association President Tyson Worrell said.Police previously alleged they saw Waddy punch someone outside of the bar and make a motion that indicated he had a gun.“This never should have happened.” The other two officers — Meghan Lieberson and Kenneth Rowland — will not face criminal charges because prosecutors and the grand jury found their actions to be legally justified, Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said in a news release."
