Officer’s use of deadly force against Mankato man was necessary
According to Minnesota Public Radio, the police officer who shot and killed a Mankato man last December will not face criminal charges.
In December of 2007, Richard Thomas Vosburgh, 26, broke into an apartment. A woman was home, and Vosburgh threatened to rape her. When police arrived, Vosburgh came at them with glass. He cut their faces and hands with glass before the officer fired, MPR reported.
Blue Earth County and Mankato Public Safety agreed that the officer acted appropriately, said the Mankato Free Press.
