Anchorage Officers Not Charged in McCord Shooting | Anchorage News
Description
Three Anchorage police officers won’t face charges in the May fatal shooting of Emil McCord, 33, after prosecutors found they reasonably believed he posed an imminent threat with a handgun. Bodycam footage shows McCord firing into the air before pointing his weapon at officers — who then used deadly force. This marks one of four police-related deaths this year in Anchorage. The review also revealed Officer Jacob Jones has been involved in four shootings since 2016, while Justin Miller is new to the force and Alexander Roman had a prior justified fatal shooting. Police say an internal probe will follow to assess policy compliance, as transparency remains key to rebuilding public trust.
