Editor's note: Previously aired video above details a press conference on the fatal officer-involved shooting. ELYRIA, Ohio (WJW) — A fatal officer-involved shooting in Lorain has been ruled justified by county prosecutor J.D. Tomlinson. The issue presented to Tomlinson, explained in a Nov. 22 evaluation seen below, was to determine whether Lorain police officer Kyle Shawver used excessive or unreasonable force in the shooting of Charles White in July. 'I find that he did not,' Tomlinson said. Police were attempting to serve arrest warrants for felonious assault and aggravated menacing at a West 20th Street home on July 30 when police say White then hid in a tent in the basement.
