Police officer cleared for fatal shooting of Navajo Nation woman

Leaders of the Navajo Nation expressed outrage on Friday after a police officer was cleared for shooting and killing a 27-year-old tribal member.

Loreal Juana Barnell Tsingine was killed on March 27 in Winslow, Arizona, a community near the reservation. The shooting sparked widespread condemnation but authorities said officer Austin Shipley won't face any criminal charges for his conduct.

"After a careful review of the facts surrounding this case, including available video evidence and witness statements from all involved, my office has found no evidence of criminal conduct on the part of officer Shipley," Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said in a press release.
