BOULDER, Colo.—A police officer has been cleared of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of a man who threatened to detonate a bomb inside a Boulder hospital.
The Boulder County district attorney’s office said Wednesday that University of Colorado police Cpl. Matt DeLaria was justified in the March 17 shooting of 32-year-old Terrance Baughman.
Baughman held police at bay in the Boulder Community Hospital vestibule for four hours. He was seated in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank and claimed the tank had a detonator. Police later found no explosives.
DeLaria is a member of the Boulder Police SWAT team that responded.
