Two officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing after a fatal police shooting near an Amazon facility in Florence last month.Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders said the two officers were justified in their use of deadly force.”This was just an unfortunate and tragic situation of a suspect attempting to commit suicide by cop,” Sanders said. The incident began just before 7 a.m. April 29 on Industrial Road with a report of a stolen tractor trailer, and ended with shots fired outside the Amazon facility.It all started when police said officers pulled a man over. They said when the man stopped, he was not compliant with commands, which resulted in a “physical altercation.”Witnesses said the man exited the vehicle with a gun and pointed it at his own head, leading officers to follow him as he walked toward the Amazon facility.Sanders said it was a total of about 15 minutes between the time the man began to lead officers away from the vehicle and the time of the police shooting.Lonnie Sweet, a trucker who witnessed the event, said, “He wouldn’t take the gun from his head. He just kept walking away from them. The cops kept following him. Eventually, he walked into the Amazon parking lot there. It was out of our sight. Next thing you know, you heard four or five shots go off.”Body camera video released Tuesday shows the suspect, later identified as 35-year-old Michael Simpson from Cleves, leading officers toward the Amazon facility.The video shows Simpson with a gun to his head and about five officers following him with guns pointed at him, telling him to drop the weapon.This continues for several minutes, with Simpson saying he did not want to be arrested or go back to jail, and that he wanted his phone charged to call a woman named “Bree” who Sanders believes is his girlfriend.Body camera video shows that at one point, Simpson starts walking toward officers with the gun in his hand. That’s when two deputies fired four shots, hitting Simpson.Officials attempted lifesaving measures, but Simpson was pronounced dead at the scene.The two deputies, TJ Shinkle and Daniel Walker, fired the shots. Shinkle fired three shots, and Walker fired one.Sanders said Walker was actually off duty and was headed home when they heard the call and responded. Sanders said neither deputy had their body camera activated but they were able to utilize other deputies’ body cameras who also responded to show what transpired. Sanders said he believes the officers were in reasonable fear they were about to suffer death when they fired their weapons, saying he does not expect officers to wait until they are fired upon to make that decision.He said the situation was too dangerous for the public for officers to retreat and too dangerous for officers to be hands-on with the armed suspect, and the use of lethal force was the one realistic option in this case.Sanders said the case will not be presented to the grand jury, and the investigation is now considered closed.
