Pasquotank County District Attorney Andrew Womble speaks at a news conference Tuesday. The deputies who fatally shot Andrew Brown Jr. last month in Elizabeth City will not face charges. Pasquotank County District Attorney Andrew Womble said today that Brown's shooting by three deputies was tragic but justified because law enforcement officers reasonably believed they were in danger. "The deputy's actions appear reasonable under all the circumstances of the case," Womble said at a news conference. "The deputies faced both actual danger and apparent danger as perceived by them on the scene. This apparent threat was reinforced by Brown's dangerous and felonious use of a deadly weapon."
