DA: No Criminal Charges For Officer Who Killed Hofstra University Student

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The Nassau County police officer who fired the fatal shots that killed a Hofstra University student and the armed intruder who was holding her hostage will not face criminal charges.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice issued a 28-page report Wednesday on the May 17, 2013 shooting, following a review of whether police personnel acted appropriately during the deadly confrontation.

Rice said prosecution of officer Nikolas Budimlic, a 19-year police veteran, is not warranted.

Budimlic was one of the first officers to respond to the break-in at an off-campus apartment in Uniondale. Police said the officer found an intruder — Dalton Smith, 30 — holding Andrea Rebello, 21, in a headlock and threatening to kill her.

the criminal who took the woman hostage got what he wanted.

It seems to me that this business of having a single Officer in a car is a problem. With two Officers (like in the good old days) you had backup. The only backup now is the Officer's gun.
