(Iowa Falls, IA) The Iowa Attorney General’s Office has decided the fatal police shooting of a stalking suspect was justified. Iowa Falls police engaged Jared Risius two weeks ago after seeing him ram a woman’s S-U-V. The officers say Risius had a gun and he refused to comply with legal commands for him to drop his weapon. Iowa State Trooper Jeremy Schaffer fired the fatal shot when Risius got into the woman’s vehicle and appeared to try to drive away. The officers said they felt the suspect posed a risk to a nearby school and residential neighborhood.
