The Edmundston Police Force officer who fatally shot Chantel Moore in New Brunswick last year won't face criminal charges, prosecutors announced Monday. The summary says the officer recognized Moore from when Moore had broken into her mother's home after forgetting her key. He told investigators he was surprised to see her grab something from a kitchen counter and appearing "angry with a furrowed brow." The officer told investigators he backed up to the railing of the balcony and felt he had nowhere else to go. The analysis said the officer told BEI investigators he regrets backing up to his left instead of toward an exit route.
