Aurora police officer not indicted in March slaying of unarmed black man

A white Aurora police officer will not be indicted in the fatal March shooting of an unarmed, 37-year-old black man, prosecutors said Wednesday.
An Arapahoe County grand jury declined to charge Paul Jerothe, a decorated tactical paramedic who was hailed as a hero for his actions during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting.
At the time of the shooting in March, Jerothe and other officers were trying to arrest Naeschylus Carter Vinzant, a parole absconder who was suspected in a domestic violence and robbery case days before.
Authorities had been warned Vinzant was a violent criminal with a history of threatening to shoot police.
