GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two Wyoming police officers were justified when they shot an armed man who ultimately died of a self-inflicted wound, the Kent County prosecutor said.

“There will be no charges filed against the two Wyoming officers involved in this incident… Quite frankly, I think they should be commended for how they handled the situation,” Prosecutor Chris Becker said at a news conference at his office in downtown Grand Rapids Tuesday morning.

“They had reasonable cause: When you’re looking at self-defense, defense of others, both of these apply here,” the prosecutor explained.

PD: Officers shoot, kill armed man in Wyoming

Luis Hernan Fernandez Sandoval, 31, was shot in the early hours of Sept. 16 at a home on Lemyra Street SE near Jefferson Avenue. There were 12 people inside, including children.

The prosecutor played a 911 recording from that night in which a woman reported that Sandoval was trying to get into the home to get to her niece, his wife. As many as three gunshots could then be heard.

“He’s shooting, he’s shooting, he’s shooting,” the caller said, becoming panicked.

“Everyone take cover. Get down,” the dispatcher told her.

“He’s trying to open the door. Can you please send help, please?” the woman said.

The dispatcher promised officers were on their way and asked if anyone had been shot. The caller said no.

The caller then told the dispatcher that Sandoval was in the house. Shouting could be heard in the background.

Body camera video from the responding officers shows other people exiting the home. One of them told officers Sandoval had a gun.

The prosecutor said Sandoval pointed the gun at officers.

“Gun, gun, gun!” one of the officers can be heard shouting in the bodycam.

Two officers opened fire. Sandoval was hit twice, the prosecutor said, suffering a nonfatal wound to his head and neck and another to the torso. However, Becker said, the medical examiner determined that what killed Sandoval was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

“There’s soot in the wound: The ME said that’s clearly a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Becker said.

The prosecutor noted that Sandoval did not shoot at the officers, but they still had reason to open fire.

Becker said that just the day before the shooting, the family had picked up personal protective order paperwork, though it had not yet been filled out or served to Sandoval and he probably didn’t know about it.

“This is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this is an example of how domestic violences can go bad,” Becker said. “We don’ t know what the intent of Mr. Sandoval was when he arrived there, but clearly he had a gun out and did a lot to break into a house…”

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office was called in to investigate and the two officers were placed on paid administrative leave as the investigation was underway. That’s all standard procedure.
