LYNCHBURG, Va. – Prosecutors will not file charges against a Liberty University emergency services officer who shot and killed a student last November.
The report, prepared by Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Jeff Bennett, states that officer A.S. Mulberry acted in self-defense when he shot Joshua Hathaway, 19, on Nov. 19, reports the Roanoke Times.
