Complaint about fatal bouldering police that shot unfounded

The police supervisory committee of the Boulder Police has found that a complaint for the use of strength in December 2023 in relation to the fatal shooting of Jeanette Alatorre was unfounded by two city officials.

Alatorre was shot after a resident had reported the North Boulder Recreation Center that she had given him a weapon on him. After recordings of the incident, she ignored the officials of the officials to drop the weapon and went to the nearby residential streets. Officers fired less fatal bean bags, but seemed to have no effect. She was shot with a rifle later and died at the scene. The weapon was later identified as an air pistol that resembled a 9 -mm gun.

The supervisory committee checked a complaint by a community member in which the officials had stood in the back, an assertion in which the complaint with the autopsy report came into conflict, according to a report by the city's independent police monitor.
