Investigators say no charges will be filed against an Ohio sheriff's deputy who shot a news photographer setting up to photograph a traffic stop. Clark County Deputy Jacob Shaw said he mistook photographer Andrew Grimm's camera for a gun when he shot him twice, once in the side and once in the shoulder, last year in New Carlisle, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) west of Columbus. A message was left with the attorney representing Grimm, who works for a weekly newspapers group. The Clark County Sheriff's Office is conducting an administrative review. A federal lawsuit filed by Grimm claims Shaw used excessive force and violated his civil rights.
