Inspector General Report on Park Police Shooting
A federal inspector general’s report has exonerated two U.S. Park Police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Bijan Ghaisar in 2017. The report concluded that the officers did not violate procedures and were justified in their actions. The shooting occurred after a highway chase, during which Ghaisar’s vehicle was rear-ended. The report has been met with criticism from Ghaisar’s family, who argue that the officers’ actions were excessive and unwarranted.
