HARTFORD, Conn. - A Connecticut police officer who opened fire on an unarmed couple’s car, seriously wounding a woman, was charged Monday with assault and reckless endangerment. Pollock’s use of deadly force was found to be justified, Griffin said, because the officer believed Eaton and Witherspoon were exchanging gunfire. Shots from Eaton’s gun injured both Washington and Pollock, who suffered a graze wound. Griffin said no weapons were found on Witherspoon, Washington or in the car. ___This story has been updated to correct the spelling of the last name of the Yale University officer to Pollock, not Pollack.
