No Charges For Lanesborough Officer Who Shot Man
 |
District Attorney David Capeless said on Friday that an investigation has been complete and no criminal charges are warranted against Sorrell.
Sorrell shot 45-year-old Keith Carnute on Silver Street after Carnute allegedly went after him with a knife. Police were initially called to the scene after two women reported a body in the road. Upon arrival Sorrell and firefighters found Carnute on the side of the road. Sorrell then shot Carnute once in the chest when Carnute allegedly went after the officer.
Carnute was taken to Berkshire Medical Center and underwent emergency surgery as a result of the shooting.
Capeless did not comment further on the investigation that was conducted by state Police Sgt. Christopher Meiklejon and a member of the investigative unit assigned to Capeless' office.
