Officer who shot teen stabber won’t be prosecuted
A police officer who shot a 16-year-old Palestinian teenager who carried out a stabbing attack with a pair of scissors in Jerusalem along with her 14-year-old cousin several weeks ago will not be prosecuted, police say.
The investigation was opened following a decision by the attorney general after claims surfaced that officer shot the stabber while she no longer posed any danger.
The officer said he fired at the teenager because he believed that she was still capable of further attacking civilians.
