Darnall’s decision means Sgt. Noel Senoran and Officers Jacob Jones, Jacob Ostolaza and James Stineman will not be charged in the shooting. Per department policy, Chief Case said Anchorage police would be conducting their own investigation of the officers’ conduct. “As they advanced towards the apartment complex on foot, the adult male raised a long gun towards the officers,” police said. “Four officers discharged their weapons, striking the adult male at least once in the upper body.”Cross confirmed that the officers involved in the shooting had been wearing body cameras.
