LODI (AP) — Two Northern California police officers were justified when they shot and killed a Gulf War veteran who allegedly charged at them with a knife, prosecutors concluded in a report released Tuesday. The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office said Lodi police Corporal Scott Bratton and Officer Adam Lockie “acted reasonably” to protect themselves when they opened fire on Parminder Singh Shergill on Jan. 25. The officers told investigators that Shergill, 43, charged at them with a knife when they attempted to talk to him near the home where he lived, according to the Bee.
