   No charges will be filed against four Colorado Springs police   
   officers in the fatal shooting of a decorated combat veteran who   
   they say pointed a rifle at them during a domestic disturbance   
   in April, the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said   
   Thursday.   
      
   According to the DA’s report, Cpl. Joseph Somosky and officers   
   Eddie Nassar, Kristofer Czajkowski and Charles Warren "acted   
   reasonably" and were justified when they fired at Army Staff   
   Sgt. Virgill Thorpe because they “held a reasonable belief” that   
   Thorpe put the officers and his family members in imminent   
   danger of being killed or seriously injured.   
      
   Thorpe, 28, was struck “at least once,” the report said, and   
   died from his wounds in the hospital.   
      
   All four officers’ body cameras were activated at the time of   
   the shooting, according to the DA's Office, though CSPD has yet   
   to release the footage. A police spokesman said the footage will   
   likely be released Friday or early next week.   
      
   An autopsy from the El Paso County Coroner’s Office showed that   
   Thorpe died from 12 gunshot wounds to his head, arm, back, leg   
   and hands.   
      
   The DA’s report provided the following details of the April 19   
   incident:   
      
   The officers were called to Thorpe’s home just before 10 p.m. in   
   the 3200 block of Oak Creek Drive East on the city’s southeast   
   side after Thorpe’s wife called about a disturbance, the report   
   stated.   
      
   Thorpe’s wife told authorities that she had been physically   
   assaulted by her husband and that he was armed with an assault   
   rifle, according to the report. She said Thorpe “cocked” the   
   rifle and said he would shoot officers if they came to the house.   
      
   When the officers met Thorpe at the front door, he was   
   “extremely agitated” and said “Let’s go to war,” the report   
   stated. The officers tried to calm him down, but he went back   
   inside.   
      
   Through an egress window, officers saw Thorpe’s wife, two   
   stepdaughters and a family friend in the basement and attempted   
   to pull them out, the report stated. They pulled Thorpe’s wife   
   and one of his stepdaughters out of the window to safety, but   
   while they tried to pull out his other stepdaughter, Thorpe   
   approached the window with an AR-15, according to the report.   
      
   He raised the rifle and pointed it at the officers, the report   
   stated. His stepdaughter jumped out of the way and the officers   
   fired at Thorpe.   
      
   Thorpe retreated into the basement and collapsed, the report   
   said. The officers provided medical aid to Thorpe until   
   paramedics arrived.   
      
   One of the officers and one of Thorpe’s stepdaughters were   
   injured by flying glass and debris or shrapnel, the report   
   stated.   
      
   An investigation by the multiagency Deadly Force Investigation   
   Team, showed that Thorpe fired a round from his AR-15, the DA’s   
   report stated. One of Thorpe’s stepdaughters told investigators   
   that Thorpe fired his rifle before officers fired.   
      
   Thorpe was assigned to the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th   
   Infantry Division, a Fort Carson spokeswoman said. He enlisted   
   in the Army in 2012 and had been stationed at Fort Carson since   
   2016. He received more than 20 awards throughout his service,   
   including during his seven-month deployment in Afghanistan in   
   2013, records show.   
      
   Thorpe’s death was the city’s 16th homicide and second officer-   
   involved shooting this year.
