Sheriff’s officials did not disclose any more new information about the shooting.
For the second time in less than two weeks, metro area prosecutors have signed off on an officer-involved shooting in which the officer thought the suspect had a gun but didn t.
In the first case, 18th Judicial District DA John Kellner s office declined to prosecute a Castle Rock police officer for the December 2020 wounding of James Woodall; the officer reportedly thought Woodall had taken a shot at him. Actually, Woodall was holding a knife and wasn t close enough to anyone to be an immediate threat; the blast came from a less-than-lethal shotgun fired by one of the officer s colleagues.
And now, the 17th Judicial District DA s office has dismissed the January killing of 41-year-old Harmony Wolfgram with a decision letter that does its best to disguise the fact that the item in her hand was not a gun, but a butane lighter.
The woman alleged multiple violations of her constitutional rights, specifically by the lead investigator looking into the arson case.

MADISON, Wis. (CN) A lawsuit from a Wisconsin woman wrongfully convicted of arson was dealt a blow from a federal judge on Monday, who found that investigators’ actions in her case did not amount to constitutional violations.
U.S. District Judge William Conley offered in his 21-page decision that even though the investigation into Brenda Jones carried out by police, including lead investigator Brent York and others, was faulty, he was bound to grant summary judgment to the defendants about a month ahead of a trial planned to commence on June 1.
