Josephine County District Attorney Josh Eastman has concluded that police officers were justified in fatally shooting a woman on a Grants Pass bridge who repeatedly pointed what looked like a gun at them, refused multiple commands and shouted at officers to shoot her.
Eastman released his conclusion Wednesday with a description of the Feb. 7 shooting on the Debbs Potts Memorial Bridge, which carries the Grants Pass Parkway over the Rogue River.
