FARGO (KFGO/KVRR) โ North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley says Novemberโs fatal police-involved shooting in Fargo was โreasonable, justified and lawful in every way.โ
Wrigley announced the findings of his departmentโs investigation during a news conference Wednesday in Fargo.
Peter Greco, 65, was shot and killed outside a home in the Deer Creek neighborhood. Greco was having mental health issues and came out of the home with a handgun.
Sgt. Lucas Mock and Officer Princeten Harris both fired their weapons and Greco died at the scene. They have been on administrative leave since the shooting.
Fargo Police Chief Dave Zibolski says officers โdid everything possible to de-escalate the situation without the use of deadly force.โ
Zibolski says that while he regrets the outcome of the incident, heโs proud of the officersโ actions.
Wrigley expressed some frustration over one of the findings of the investigation.
โIt looks like, feels like every other .357 Magnum Iโve ever seen. Law enforcement believed it to be a .357 Magnum, until they got it kicked away from Mr. Greco. The secured it at the scene and turned it over and realized it says on the side, itโs a .177 caliber BB and pellet gun,โ Wrigley said. โIโll get in trouble with somebody, but Iโm going to say it anyway โ I canโt imagine why someone manufactures a piece of equipment like this.โ
